us.”
Standing between the two gorgeous men, body aching for them, Karen knew she wouldn’t be able to convince them of anything other than what they believed. Brad seemed convinced he and Duncan could show her that she was theirs. They really thought she was their mate. She and Jacky had two and a half weeks until the next concert. Karen would give them a week and a half to convince her she needed to be with them before she drove away. Glaring at the two of them, she sighed, because she knew she would regret it if she didn’t at least give them a chance. “You two have two weeks to convince me. Jacky and I have tickets to a concert that’s two and a half weeks from today.”
Huge Cheshire cat grins came over the men’s faces. Duncan stood, and he and Brad sandwiched her in. “That’s all the time we need.” Duncan turned her, and his lips came down on hers.
Karen’s body lit up like an inferno at the touch of Duncan’s lips. She felt his fingers glide into her hair. Brad pulled the tattered clothing off her body. She then felt Brad’s lips on her neck, and his hands sliding around to play with her sensitive clit. She moaned as his fingers found their target and drew lazy circles around her nub.
Her mind was clouded with images of all the things she wanted the men to do to her. Karen had never been a hugely sexual person, but Duncan and Brad brought out a passion she never knew she had.
A ringing noise in the background became louder and louder, and the haze around her cleared. Duncan tore his mouth from hers, and his fingers fell from her hair.
“This better be fucking good. I have been craving to be in the heat of your pussy again, since I woke.” Duncan’s dirty words turned her on more, and she almost begged him to come back as he stormed to a table and picked up the phone. “Speak.” Brad moved from behind her when Duncan growled, “Brad and I will be there in a moment. They should know we are mutual, and our land is mutual ground, no matter what the species.” Duncan hung up and turned his blazing blue eyes on her. “We need to find you some clothes and get you dressed. We have a situation at the lodge.”
Brad held her hand and walked toward the bedroom she’d slept in. “I brought your suitcases in early before you woke this morning. Duncan’s not a morning person, but I am.”
Karen saw her bag against the vanity. She let go of Brad’s hands and went straight to get clean clothes. “I’m not a morning person. I worked afternoons and night shifts at an after-hours doctors' surgery.”
“What do you mean by you worked? Don’t you mean you work at an after-hours doctors' surgery?” Duncan asked as he came in and leaned against the door with his arms crossed on his muscular chest.
Crap. She’d slipped up. Karen debated what she should tell them. Did she tell them she’d quit and didn’t have a job? Would that make them think she had more freedom to move here and go along with this mate thing, or did she say she meant work ? Chewing on her bottom lip, she grabbed her clothes and got up, staring at the two men. Maybe if she didn’t answer, they would let it drop. “Can I use your shower, please? Jacky and I had been on the road for most of the day yesterday. I really could do with freshening up.”
Duncan’s eyes bored into her, and she nearly caved as he stared at her as he leaned on the wall.
Brad saved her, seeming to feel the unease she felt, by opening a door opposite Duncan. “Sure. If you could have a quick shower, that would be appreciated. Once you’re dressed, we’ll take you to your friend. She is in our brothers’ cabin. You’ll be safe there while we sort out the situation.”
Karen was unsure of what to say. She wanted to see Jacky, and she wanted time away from the two men, but she didn’t know if she’d feel safe. “Okay. I’ll be quick.” She almost ran to the bathroom, eager to get away from Duncan’s assessing eyes and Brad’s gaze. She hoped if
