Enemies in Love [High-Country Shifters 4] (12 page)

Promises, promises
. Something inside her head told her to keep quiet and enjoy the ride. Both of their heads dipped again, and the second they touched her, sparks of need rippled everywhere.

Kranor finally let the blade of grass fly away and replaced the torture device with his finger. Using only the tip, he circled her clit as if he knew all of her thoughts would be focused there when he finally touched her.

“Stop reading my mind.”

“Can’t help it,” Kranor said.

Great
. To block out all erotic thought, she tried concentrating on the leaves whipping in the wind and the crickets chirping. She even inhaled deeply and detected a new smell she was unable to identify, but seconds later she lost focus. Kranor had touched her clit. Her back arched as swirling lust filled her.

As if to make her weep and beg, Jude finally sucked hard on her nipple. A raw, primal urge had her clamp down on Kranor’s shoulder, and her nails nearly broke his skin. He must have felt bad for her because he slipped a finger into her weeping hole.

“Gah.”

Both men inhaled as if the scent of her juices turned them on. If she could have reached their cocks she would have grabbed both and shown them what it was like to want something and not get it.

Finally, Kranor licked her clit hard and drove in two more fingers to stretch her out, but the divine bliss only lasted a few seconds. She needed more. She’d never be satisfied until she had a big cock in her.

Her moans and groans escalated as both men pulled, licked, and sucked her into a sexual haze. Heat built in her body as they lavished attention on her.

“Please.”

That must have been the magic word because Kranor slid up next to her and pulled her on top of his powerful chest. The pressure from his cock had her stomach fluttering. She’d waited years for the moment. Kranor had starred in so many of her dreams she couldn’t believe she was about to be joined with him.

Kranor dragged her knees forward. “Sit on me. Fuck me hard.”

Her breath caught. Her pussy dripped juices, and she slid higher on his body. Taking a hold of his cock, she lifted on her knees and dragged the head over her wet slit, her knees quaking in anticipation of his cock impaling her.

Kranor grabbed her wrist. “Don’t wait too long.” His black eyes shone like the darkest pool of water, alluring and yet dangerous.

She slid her legs wider and plunged the head into her pussy but stopped once the tip nestled snuggly inside her. The quick pinch of pain from the intrusion disappeared and was replaced with a torrent of need.

Kranor gripped her hips and lifted up his, taking away her control. “I have to have you, little one. Enough is enough.” His jaw tightened, and his eyes pressed closed.

She expected him to ram his way to the end, but instead he took his time forging his way into her wet channel with one slow thrust. Her body had to stretch to accommodate him, but the white-hot path he left in his wake elicited new nerves to awaken.

Jude pressed a hand on her back to slowly lower her. His other hand rubbed her ass. She clenched, thinking about having a cock in her ass at the same time. There was no way both would fit.

“I told you not today, sugar, but soon.”

Damn, so lost in eternal bliss that she’d forgotten about their abilities to know what she wanted. Never had anyone tried to give her all that she desired until she’d met them.

Kranor pulled down her head and kissed her with an intensity that made her think a bolt of lightning had snuck out of the clouds and burned her. His tongue eased into her mouth, and she savored the burst of flavor from the berries they’d snagged off one of the bushes.

Jude kissed her rear and rubbed her back. She couldn’t help but clench. That got her a light tap.

“Relax, sugar.”

How could she do that with Kranor’s spine-tingling kiss shimmering over her body and his big cock in her pussy? Kranor slid his hands to her hips and held on tight.

“Don’t move.” His command froze her.

With more control than she thought possible, he withdrew his cock then eased back in. Her inner walls thrilled to the friction and loved how her body hugged his so tight. On their own, her muscles milked his cock.

“Little one, you will be sorry.”

As if he was about to blow, he drove up into her at the same time Jude pressed a finger into her ass. The double sensation sent her so high she thought she might never come down. Another loud moan escaped.

“That’s it, sugar. Love it.”

Jude plunged his finger into her ass over and over again, stretching out her narrow channel. He curled a finger and must have hit some explosive device because all of a sudden her body heated from two directions.

Just as she was enjoying having something in her ass, Jude moved to the side and waved his cock in the direction of her mouth. A pearl of cum shimmered out his slit. The vein running along his length throbbed and pulsed.

“Fuck this, sugar.”

To better take him in her mouth she sat back, which changed the angle of Kranor’s cock. The next thrust rubbed against her clit and nearly made her burst. She wasn’t going to last long. Opening her mouth, she licked her lips for him to come closer. Jude reached under her and pinched a nipple while he guided her head to his cock.

Kranor must have noticed the lonely breast for he, too, reached up and rubbed her swollen nipple between his fingers. The pressure matched the tightness in her pussy. Juices flowed and heat built.

She drew her lips tight around Jude’s cock and brought him deep into her mouth. Balancing on her knees, she pulled his cock out of his hand and squeezed him hard. His gasp made her want to suck on him more, but there was no more room in her mouth.

She palmed his balls then returned to holding his shaft. The two men got into the same rhythm of fucking her hard and sending heat to every cell. They rocked back and forth in unison as she drove Jude’s cock deep into her throat. Explosions marched their way up and down her body, sweeping her away as her climax finally took hold.

Her fingers tightened their grip and she scraped her teeth along his skin. Jude grabbed a handful of hair and pulled tight. The tension pushed her over the edge into a sea of ecstasy. A growl that seemed to start in his belly raced up his body and burst out just as his hot seed seared her mouth and pummeled the back of her throat. She pulled back her head and swallowed his cum, loving the tangy, salty taste.

Kranor lifted his hips so high, her knees left the ground. She would have fallen forward had he not palmed her chest. His strong, rough fingers pressed down hard on both nipples, and she sobbed out his name. That final touch catapulted her into oblivion, and his seed streamed deep inside her.

Pulses radiated over her body and she failed to catalogue what had happened. Being with these two men exceeded every dream and expectation. Her pulse raced and her body throbbed. Jude sat back and let out a long exhale.

Kranor lifted her up and gently placed her on the ground next to him. The fresh, sweet scent of the
anoman
flower bathed her in delight. The sun seemed brighter and the air cleaner. Every muscle relaxed as she stared at the blue sky and her men’s grinning faces.

She wasn’t sure how Kranor had the energy to get up on his feet and scoop her up in his arms, but he did.

“It’s cleaning time for you.”

She lightly tapped his chest because he didn’t have any more energy. “Tell me where the gruff, standoffish Kranor went.”

Jude interceded. “Trust me. As soon as we step foot in wolf territory, he’ll return.”

Was that true? Did Kranor’s good memories of being here wash away his frustration with his clan?

Don’t question it. Enjoy him
.

She expected him to walk to the other side of the pond where the slope was shallow. Kranor, however, never did what he was supposed to. With her in his arms, he leaped into the water, and the coolness shocked her system awake. They sank to the bottom. Kranor pushed up, and they emerged a few seconds later. He tossed her up in the air toward Jude.

She lowered her legs and held up her hands. “I am not a toy.”

They both converged on her. “That you are not.”

Jude pulled her close and enveloped her in his arms. His kiss came out so soft and tender that she melted against him. She clung to his shoulders and returned the affection. She swore he’d been holding her with both hands when suddenly he wheedled a finger into her ass.

“Eek.”

“You like it. I can tell.”

She did like it. His exploration had been all too quick. “I’ll admit it, but if I let you fuck me in the ass and if it’s as wonderful as I think it will be, I’ll miss you all the more.”

Damn
. She shouldn’t have brought up them leaving and spoiled their sensual time together.

Kranor moved behind her and threaded his hands around her waist. “Would you like us to come back and visit again?”

She was torn. “It’s not safe.”

“We can take on a lion.”

She didn’t want to get into that age-old argument. “You’ve seen both Malik and Cavon take down three or four wolves at one time.” They were there during that fight.

“We’ll be careful.”

The thought of either of them getting hurt again made her stomach tumble. “I really need to get back. I don’t want my mom to worry.”

Jude kissed her nose. “You could always move in with us.”

That wasn’t going to work. “I appreciate the offer, but I don’t think I want to be afraid just going out to the garden.”

Jude slipped his other hand under her legs and walked out with her in his arms. The depression already had begun to fester before her feet hit the ground.

They let the air dry them for a bit before they put their clothes back on, but her skirt stuck to her skin nonetheless. She pulled it off her legs and held it out. “Will I see you again?” She hated that her voice hitched.

Jude pulled her into an embrace. “You can’t keep us away.”

Thrills raced through her. At the moment, she was willing to deal with a possible lion encounter. If she could love them a few more times, the memories might last her a lifetime.

“We can’t make promises.”
Ooh
. The old Kranor had returned. It was like he pulled a shade over his heart.

Jude dragged a knuckle down her cheek. “When do you have your garden duty?”

It wasn’t really a duty. It was something she loved. “In four days.”

“We’ll be here.” He shot a terse glance at his friend.

Kranor’s face softened. “We’ll try to be here. Something might come up.”

She stepped back. “I understand. If you sense danger anywhere, I don’t want you to come. I’m outside every fourth day.”

Jude reached down and picked up his pack and wrapped an arm around her. “Let’s get you back.”

No two men could be more considerate, which only make it harder to say good-bye.

“Where have you been?” Her mother’s tone wasn’t exactly accusatory, but it was clear she’d been worried.

Henla could sense that her dad wasn’t home, or had the scent of cinnamon and cloves from her mom’s cooking overshadowed his pipe stench? “I was with Kranor and Jude.” The giggle that escaped couldn’t be helped.

Her mom whipped off her apron and motioned that both sit at the large kitchen table. A beautiful bouquet of pink and red
anomans
sat in the center, and their wonderful scent reminded her of the lovemaking.

“Talk to me.”

She knew that phrase, and it wasn’t a good one. “There’s nothing to tell. I was working in the garden when they stopped by.”

Her mom’s brow rose at the parts she left out. “Wolf shifters, friends they may be, don’t just
stop
by. It was very dangerous for them to come here.”

She knew this was the reaction she’d get. “They didn’t come underground. It’s a free country. Anyone can hunt where they like.”

“Not if they want to live.”

She averted her gaze. Her mom’s warm hand caressed hers. “You care a lot for them. I can tell.”

She more than cared. She was falling in love with them. “Yes.”

“If they’re willing to risk their lives for you, fine, but be careful. You would feel horribly guilty for the rest of your life if one of them died for you.”

Her stomach churned and her muscles weakened. “Mom, that’s a terrible thought. I’ll be careful. I promise.”

“You know your dad and I support whatever decision you make, but the elders will not.”

That meant if, and it was a big if, she ever did want the blessing of marriage, she wouldn’t find it here. “Thanks. I’m going to my room.”

Why did love have to be so complicated? Kranor and Jude had saved lions and ostracized themselves in the process. That should count for something.

* * * *

Jude finally caught his breath as they shifted back to human. He let himself in the house and headed straight for the refrigerator. “I’m getting old.” They’d sprinted home in need of exorcising everything bad in the world, but it hadn’t helped.
