Fifteen

Noel walked through the front door of Wes’ cabin, her body tired and her muscles sore. Even with everyone’s help at Everglades, it still took quite a bit of work to get the bar cleaned up and in some semblance of order. It would be a few more days before Wes could open it back up for business, which Noel thought would be good; it gave him a chance to relax and deal with everything that happened. She dropped her purse on the island between the living room and the kitchen. And a lot has happened.

Wes walked past her and went straight to his liquor cabinet and the whiskey. Jake stood awkwardly by the front door, having followed them from Everglades to the cabin. Luckily, Noel’s mother headed back to her hotel. Noel had endured enough of her mother’s demanding tone and snark, even though she knew they wouldn’t have accomplished nearly as much as they did without her. Marge Hastings was a take charge kind of woman. They had needed that today.

Noel watched as Wes pulled out a glass, filled it with scotch, and downed it in one swallow. Refilling his glass, he then turned to Jake. “Care to join me in a drink?”

Jake nodded as he moved over to the sofa. “Don’t mind if I do.”

“I’ll pour me some wine,” Noel said. “I think today definitely calls for some drinking.” She reached for a bottle of Merlot on the counter and then grabbed a wine glass out of a cabinet. “You know, it was awesome seeing everyone who showed up today to pitch in and clean up the bar.”

Jake took the glass offered to him, holding it in front of him, one hand in his pocket as he stood in front of the sofa. “That was great to see,” he said. “You must be very well liked around here.”

Wes chuckled. “They like my booze.”

“Now, you know that’s not true,” Noel admonished him. “Our friends love you.”

Wes leaned back on the counter, holding his glass in front of him as he held himself up with his other hand. “I know. I was just teasing. We’ve got great friends. I’d hate to think how much longer we’d still be there if they hadn’t shown up to help. We may not be able to open yet, but at least the place isn’t a disaster.”

“Have you ever thought of putting in a pool table?” Jake asked as he walked over to the island, joining Noel.

Wes arched an eyebrow. “A pool table?”

Jake nodded. “Actually, I’m surprised you don’t already have one. And a dart board.” He shrugged. “Might bring in a few more customers. Beer drinkers love pool and darts.”

Noel gave a soft laugh as she shook her head. “That didn’t sound politically correct at all.”

“Beer drinkers get offended now?” Jake asked, his brow furrowed in disbelief.

“Everyone gets offended these days,” Noel answered.

“I’m not sure where we’d put a pool table. Or a dart board for that matter,” Wes said. Then he shrugged. “I mean we could take out the dance floor.”

“No, we’re not,” Noel stood straighter, placing her hands, palms down, on the island top. “The dance floor stays.”

“We could always add on to the place,” Jake offered. “Maybe make another section for two or three pool tables and some dart boards. You could even hold competitions and have people form teams. I’ve seen it done in other places.”

Wes shook his head. “There’s no way I can put an addition onto the bar. I’m barely going to be able to afford the repairs as it is. Hell, have you heard the jukebox?”

Noel nodded. “Yeah. Poor Toby Keith. He sounds all scratchy now.”

“And that was before those idiots bounced it around the place,” Wes said. He sighed, and Noel saw the slump of his shoulders as he gazed into his whiskey glass. “It’s a great idea, but there’s no way I can make it happen.”

Jake shrugged, and Noel could tell by the look on his face that he wasn’t giving up. “I’ve got money. I can help.”

Noel stared at him. “You’d help? Why?”

He turned to her, smiling. “Like I said before, sweetness. We’re a family. Whether we wanted it or not, our bears have made the decision for us.” He turned to Wes as he stood taller. “We all have a stake in this as I said. I’m all in, and that includes the bar if you’ll have me. I want to help.” Wes was about to say something, but Jake held a hand up, stopping him. “You’re still the owner, still the one who calls the shots and knows what’s best. I can afford to help, and besides, if I’m moving here, I’m going to need a job to keep me busy.”

Wes nodded, and for the first time in a few days, Noel saw a sparkle in his eyes that had been missing. “Then I guess you’re going to get your pool tables.”

Noel wasn’t sure the men had thoroughly thought this through. “But how do we even make this work? What? I bounce from house to house, taking turns with each of you? Do I stay put and you two take turns at my place? How do I have a relationship with both of you?”

Wes took a large swallow from his whiskey and then set his glass on the counter. Jake did the same, and then watched as Wes walked around the island toward Noel, one corner of his mouth turned up in a smirk.

Noel felt nervous all of a sudden as she noticed the wolfish glint in his eyes and then wondered if bear shifters could have wolfish glints. Their male portion sure can, it seems.

“Now, sweetheart, Jake’s already told you we’re a family,” Wes said. “Families don’t live in separate houses.” He leaned in and kissed her neck, his lips warm on her skin.

She felt Jake move in on her other side, his hand caressing her back. “We’re in this together,” he said. “Didn’t you say you loved us both? Did you want separate relationships with us? I’m not sure Wes or I could handle that.” He pulled her shirt back from her shoulder and kissed her flesh.

Noel groaned as she felt goosebumps go up her arms as the heat began to pool between her legs. “I do love you both. I want you both. Together.” Her legs started to shake, and she feared she would crumble right there. “But… Oh god, but how do we do that? Can we do that?”

Wes stopped kissing her at the same time as Jake, both smiling down upon her. “Well, first, we need to know, are you ready to be mated to both of us?” Wes asked. “I’m tired of waiting, and I’m sure Jake is as well, but we need to know you want it, too.”

“God, I want it,” she groaned out. “I want it!”

Jake kissed the side of her head. “Then the next thing we need,” he said as he pulled away again, “is to get you naked.”

Noel felt her eyes widen at his words. “Naked? What…?”

She never had a chance to finish as Wes grabbed her, swooping her up into his arms and started carrying her to the bedroom in the back. “You know how this goes, little elf. And you did say you wanted both of us.”

She glanced over Wes’ shoulder and saw Jake following, already peeling off his shirt. The wetness between her legs grew as she soaked in his firm chest, the way his pecs tempted her and drew her eyes. “Both?” she squeaked. “You mean…? Now? The three of us?”

Wes walked straight to the bed and dumped her in the middle of it. His grin couldn’t be any bigger. “Right now. Right here. The three of us.”

Jake had already started to strip the rest of his clothes off as he entered the room. His grin matched Wes’, and Noel couldn’t help but be turned on and afraid all at the same time. “As I said, we’re a family. We do things together and for each other.” He walked around the side of the bed as he kicked his pants off, and Noel’s eyes went straight to his thickening cock as she bit her lower lip.

She turned her attention back to Wes, who was already sliding his pants down his legs, his own cock bulging. Noel could feel her heart racing, feel her nerves tighten at the thought of having both of their cocks in her at the same time. Oh god, how am I going to do this?

Jake climbed onto the bed, pressing her backward on the bed as he hovered over her, his dark eyes practically glowing. “Tonight, you’re ours, little one.” He then leaned down and kissed her, his tongue parting her lips and finding hers, twirling and tasting her. At first, it felt weird kissing Jake with Wes right there, but then she moaned as she surrendered to his kiss. The time had come for everything to be complete.

She felt the bed shift under her and then felt Wes’ hands on her, unbuttoning her pants. She lifted her ass a little so he could slide them down her legs, taking her panties with him. Jake broke the kiss and lifted her up into a sitting position so he could strip her of her shirt and bra. Within seconds, she was as naked as they were and Wes was sliding between her legs, kissing his way up her thighs. Jake kissed his way down her chest until his mouth devoured her swollen nipple, his tongue flicking her sensitive nub. Her body writhed underneath them, sensations coursing through her.

She ran a hand up Jake’s back into his hair as she felt Wes’ tongue glide between her folds, tempting her opening as he licked up to her clit. She squirmed on his face, reaching down with her other hand until she could press his face harder into her sex. He nipped her sensitive pearl once, making her cry out, the sound filling the bedroom.

Reaching down, she felt for Jake’s hardness, taking it in her hand and stroking it. His cock was long and thick, the head already sensitive to her touch as she felt it throb a little in her hand. She continued to stroke him until she felt Wes move from between her legs as he said, “I want you, little elf.”

“God, yes,” she moaned. She had no idea what was about to happen, but she knew she needed to be filled, needed a hard cock in her wet pussy.

Jake kissed her once more on the breast and then leaned up, grinning. “Are you ready for us, sweetness?”

“Don’t I already have you both?” she asked, not really understanding the question.

Wes motioned for Jake to lay down as he grinned at Noel. “You’re about to have us both in a whole different way.”

Panic gripped her as she feared what he meant.

Jake took her hand, pulling her so that she straddled him. He grinned at her. “Now, this looks familiar.”

Wes slid off the bed a moment, going to the nightstand and pulling out a bottle of lube.

She felt her nerves tighten, knowing what they had in mind. Jake just smiled and nodded at her to continue. She reached between them, grabbing his manhood and guiding it to her entrance. She rubbed it back and forth a few times, teasing herself. Jake squirmed under her as he reached out, taking her waist in his hands. “Sweetness, you are driving me crazy.”

She grinned down at him. “I know.” Then, she slid herself down on top of him, allowing his cock to spread her open before him as she buried his shaft inside of her. She ground against him, her clit being tickled by the trail of hair that went from his navel to his cock.

“That’s my girl,” Jake said, his voice deep and husky as she rode him.

Then she felt Wes behind her, his lips on her neck as he nuzzled her. “Are you ready, little elf?”

Was she? She only nodded, sucking in a deep breath as she slowed her movements on Jake’s cock.

Wes moved in behind her, his legs straddling Jake’s as he gripped her hip with one hand and pushed her forward with his other. She bent over Jake, her breasts rubbing against his chest as he slid a hand into her hair and pulled her down to him, kissing her passionately. She tried to focus on Jake, his lips on hers, his cock buried balls deep in her pussy, but it was hard with Wes spreading her ass cheeks and applying lube along her dark hole. She tried to relax as Wes slipped a finger into her ass, filling her briefly as he finger-fucked her for a moment. She moaned at the intrusion to her tight hole, the slight pain minor to the sensations he brought her.

When he was satisfied, she felt him slide his finger from her ass and press the head of his cock against her backdoor, his hands once more going to her hips. She braced, unsure if she could take his cock in her ass or not. It wasn’t the first time that they had anal sex, but it would be the first time with another cock filling her pussy. She gripped the sheets as Wes continued pressing against that tight ring that fought against him. Finally, he was in, and she cried out, clutching the sheets around Jake’s head. She felt Wes stop a moment, giving her time to adjust.

She had never been so full, both cocks buried inside of her as she braced herself between them. Then Wes started to fuck her ass, slowly at first and then picking up speed as his hunger took over. Jake slid underneath her, his cock going opposite of Wes’ as they both fucked her. Noel couldn’t do anything but sit there, straddling Jake as Wes took her from behind. Her entire body was one spastic sense of sensations, her body shuddering as she cried out, whimpering soft mewling sounds at how good it all felt. They continued to ride her until she felt her orgasm hit her with an iron grip that wrapped its tight coils around her body and jerked her back and forth between the two men pinning her between them. Her head rocked back and forth as four hands held her in place.

She screamed as she lifted her head, but Wes pushed her back over Jake, who held her to him, his mouth close to her ears. “You are ours, sweetness.”

Wes bent over her, his mouth in her other ear. “And we will protect you from life’s pains.”

She felt their cocks throb, each twitching inside of her as the men came, one in her pussy, the other deep in her ass. They gripped her wherever they could, and then she heard them roar. Roar! Then both men leaned into her shoulders, mouths open wide, teeth—fangs!—descending as they bit her, sinking their teeth into her flesh and marking her forever as their mate. Lights exploded behind her eyes as pain sliced through her shoulders, and another orgasm washed through her taking her by surprise.

When it was over, Wes slid to the side, pulling her down between them. The air was filled with the panting of their heavy breathing, and Noel’s body shook in small tremors. She ran her tongue over her dry lips as she tried to catch her breath. She nodded, smiling. “Yeah, definitely together. Together works.”

The men laughed, each one rolling to their side and draping an arm over her stomach. “Together works great,” Wes said.

Jake started to say something as well, but never got the chance as their world erupted in a wall of flame.
