Stephanie has three rules when it comes to her relationship with werewolves Shaw and Jordan—keep their lusty encounters casual, never invade each other’s space and no biting. The boys have always seemed perfectly fine with all that, leaving her plenty of time to do her magick and keep her shop going.
Her rules come back to haunt her when the local pack leader gives Jordan and Shaw an ultimatum—find a mate or find another city to live in. Jordan and Shaw hate having to ask Stephanie to help them find a mate. She’s not just their best friend, she’s the hottest lover they’ve ever had. The boys will have their hands full convincing Steph that rules are made to be broken, before it is too late.

Jordan stared at the dessert case,
trying to decide between spice cake and those éclair thingies. He ignored Shaw’s
question as best he could, not wanting to think about what they were about to
ask Steph to do.

Chapter
One
The smell of
burned sage never got out of robes.
Never.
Stephanie shook the heavy ceremonial robe, the fabric soft in
her hands, and sighed. Maybe it was time to take it to the dry cleaners.
Obviously Woolite wasn’t doing it. She hung it over the back of her
grandmother’s rocking chair. Tomorrow she would worry about the robe. Tonight
the boys were coming over.
Tonight she’d be coming, over and over, if she was lucky.
Jordan and Shaw were worth shaving her legs for. They were
worth all the fancy lotion she smeared on her body. They were…well, they were
a force of nature.
She grabbed her broom and swept the floor, picking up the
little bits of herbs and candle wax and fur. Pyewacket was already in her spot
atop the big wardrobe in the dining room that held Steph’s supplies, black tail
hanging down.
A soft yowl sounded as she came close and she reached up,
tweaked Wacky’s tail. “I know, sweet lady, but it’s almost the full moon, and
Goddess knows I’m not getting any hot, hunky loving outside of the two of
them.”
Wacky’s yellow eyes glowed in the dim light, seeming to tell
her what an idiot she was. That cat was expressive, almost magically so.
“Two years and I get about four orgasms per full moon. That’s
not bad for one night a month.” It was close to perfect, really. She got her
freedom to work, update the website, create her spell kits and ship them out.
The day before the full moon she saved for her best boys.
They were horny then, and they put aside their worries about
the pack to come to her. They worried about their pack a lot, apparently. She
was like their mother confessor a little.
Which, okay, whoa. Not sexy, with the holster hips and the
penguin-outfit thing.
No, today was tight jeans and a tank top, a see-through
shimmery top in the same color as her eyes, deep and dark. Hrm…but they loved
her in green, though she teased them about dogs being color blind. Oh, the green
sundress. She loved that and it was easy access.
Wacky yowled again and she chuckled, stroking the puffy tail
on her way by. “I’m making them steaks, of course. They’re bringing dessert.
You, lady, are getting tuna so you can hide in the library.”
Tuna for her cat, a nice long shower for her then sizzle the
steaks on either side for her boys.
It was a good plan.

“Do you think she’ll help?”
“Are you listening to me? Do you think she’ll do it?” Shaw
was one hell of a puppy some days, bouncing and moving constantly.
Jordan wanted to snap at Shaw’s
ear.
“I don’t know. Éclairs?” They were going to ask their lover
to find them a mate who wasn’t her. Why would she help?
“I like éclairs. She likes the ones with chocolate.” Shaw
looked closer. “Can I have pecan pies?”
“Only if you don’t pass out after we all fuck and leave me to
talk to her alone.” Such. A. Pup.
“I won’t!”
The girl behind the counter gasped, turned bright red, and
Shaw’s head ducked.
“Sorry, honey.” Jordan smiled a little, not wanting
to bare his teeth “We need two éclairs, a spice cake and two of the pecan
pies.”
“Sure. Do you want any cookies? We have snickerdoodles.”
Snickerdoodles. Wow.
“No. No more sugar for this one.” He jerked his thumb at
Shaw.
“Hey!” Bright-green eyes flashed up at him from under the
unruly shock of big red hair.
“I’m getting you pies.” He popped Shaw’s ass, loving that
squeak.
They got another wide-eyed look from the girl behind the
counter. Wow. Wow. He had to watch his damn mouth. He was just so fucking horny
this time of the month. He could just toss Shaw down and fuck him raw. Thing
was, that wouldn’t sate him. He needed Steph too.
There was something about the pair of them—her sweet body
wrapped around his cock while Shaw took her mouth. Or Shaw’s ass working him
while he watched his lover lick Steph’s creamy…
He groaned, and Shaw stared at him, sporting an amazing
hard-on and a look of pure lust. Damn it.
They were never going to manage to just talk to her. Never.
They needed her help, though.
“We need to go.” Shaw’s voice was pure rumble, very little
human.
“Get it together, baby.” It was just stress. The moon coming.
That shit.
“Here you go.” The girl handed over the bag with the
pastries, pulling her hand back as though they might bite her. He didn’t even
bother handing her the cash, leaving it on the counter to give the poor girl
space. “Keep the change, honey.”
“Thanks.” Jordan grabbed
Shaw and dragged him out.
“Teasing asshole. Fuck, I smell you.”
“Hush.” They needed to stop revving up, at least until they
got in the truck. They were going to embarrass themselves.
“Uh-huh.” Shaw bounced a little bit, the shithead. Jordan had to wonder whether Nyla had given him espresso
this morning.
“I mean it, Shaw. I’ll tie you up when we get to Steph’s.”
That made his pup crazy, being forced to be still.
“You won’t.” Shaw groaned, almost rubbed against him.
“I will, baby. I’ll make you scream.”
As crazy making as Shaw was, his sweet mate could make his
mouth dry, make him ache for it. He loved that boy to distraction. He reached
over and touched Shaw’s thigh.
The lean muscles jerked and jumped, shifted under his
fingers, even the cloth of Shaw’s jeans not hiding the movement. Shaw’s cock
pressed hard against the zipper, and Jordan had
to fight the urge to open those jeans and take that hardness into his hand.
“I hope she’s ready for us.” Shaw panted, licked his lips. “I
want you.”
“I want you, baby. I want both of you. I can’t wait to strip
you down and do you while you lick her.”
He wanted to just grab Shaw by the hair
and fuck that pretty mouth. Christ, his hands were shaking.
“I could suck you, now, before we get there. I so could.”
“No.” No, they had to wait. It was important to not dilute
the sex magick. Steph had taught them that. They would need every drop, so to
speak.
“Asshole.” Shaw gave him a low, pouty growl.
“You want this to work, baby?” He finally handed the bag of
pastries to Shaw and got the truck going.
“I don’t know…” Shaw sighed, fastened his seat belt, eyes
facing out the window, watching the Rockies . “I
don’t want to lose her. I like Steph.”
“I know, baby.” He didn’t want to end their friendship with
Steph, either, but the pack was breathing down their necks. They were supposed
to be good little wolves and settle down.
“If we find her, our mate I mean, it’ll be good, right? We
won’t care that we’re losing Steph?”
Well, Steph had always made it clear that this was just fun
and games, hadn’t she? Three buds hanging out, drinking beer, sharing orgasms?
They even watched football together. Besides, she knew what they were, knew they
couldn’t mate with someone for life who wasn’t one of them.
He smacked Shaw’s shoulder, just a little too hard. “It’ll be
cool. We’ll be stupid in love and wanting to make puppies.”
Right?
Right.
