Double Shift Read online

  Gabe placed his hand on Emily’s chin, gently tipping her head back so her lips were close to his.

  “Emily, you are our mate. You may not understand yet, but I can tell you this. We will never hurt you or leave you. We will always put your safety and needs above our own.” He coaxed a gentle kiss. “Give us a chance, honey. Let us show you.” He caressed her face in gentle kisses. His hands moved down her sides slipping under her T-shirt.

  Gideon pressed his body close and kissed the base of her neck. For a moment Emily relaxed, but then struggled to free herself from the men who held her. The beast in Gideon snarled and he bit hard into her flesh.

  “Fuck,” Gabe said. He had no choice. His teeth sunk into Emily’s skin while she screamed.

  Emily’s breath came in short gasps while the twins licked her wounds. The pain had subsided leaving a pleasant warmth that infused her body. Her pussy convulsed as a spicy aroma tickled her nose and forced her to take a deep breathe. She inhaled deeply tasting cinnamon in her mouth. She nuzzled Gabriel’s cheek as he touched the bite mark on her left shoulder. She kissed him. When Gideon grabbed the T-shirt and lifted it over her head forcing her arms up it caused the kiss with Gabriel to be broken. She panicked and brought her arms over her breasts. She tried to step back but that only pushed her closer to Gideon’s hard body and erect cock nestled in her lower back.

  “Don’t,” Gabriel said, his once soft eyes as steely as Gideon’s. His lips lowered slowly to hers. This was the last moment to save herself. Logic screamed run but forbidden pleasure whispered surrender. The seconds to decide were the longest of her life.

  Emily allowed the kissing to continue with her in control. She thrust her tongue into Gabriel’s mouth, her juices running down her legs. A fire that needed to be quenched. Her hands found his chest. The scratches that had been there before seemed to be thinner. Am I imaging things? She couldn’t think past the burning need. Gideon’s hands moved to her abdomen, caressing his way to her parted thighs.

  Gabriel intensified his kiss, his tongue dominating hers as he massaged her breasts. He was as accomplished as Gideon. She moaned when he rolled her nipple against his thumb.

  Gideon’s knuckles rubbed her inner thighs as his is hand slipped between the folds of her vagina. He kissed the back of her neck as he circled her clit with his fingers.

  She arched her back as the tiny bud throbbed. “Please hurry,” Emily pleaded. The heat had intensified to the point of pain. She craved more. To feel him impale her. Hammer her. She bent at the waist to lick Gabriel’s chest. Gideon moved his hand to stroke her from behind.

  Emily pushed against Gideon’s hand. She exhaled when he inserted two fingers into the narrow slit of her cunt, setting a rhythm that made her moan. She needed more.

  She grabbed Gabriel’s penis and was rewarded with his swift intake of breath. It encouraged her. She licked the shaft to tip. But that wasn’t enough. Satisfaction was just out of reach. She slowly encased his large cock in her mouth as Gideon replaced his fingers with his mouth.

  Gideon’s speared right through her folds deep into her pussy. His tongue erotically rough, dipped into the tight entrance of her vagina. The action stretched her throat so Gabriel’s cock sank deeper. The sensation of Gideon’s face buried between her ass cheeks make the rising flames an inferno. Emily’s hips moved so fast she was bucking. Her hands pumped Gabriel’s shaft at the same rhythm as her mouth.

  Gideon moved his hand away. Emily would have complained but he plunged into her pussy so fast, she choked on Gabe’s cock. The men thrust together. She could feel Gideon’s scrotum slap against her buttocks. The combined penetration was too much and she clamped down on Gideon’s cock making him orgasm with her. Gabriel followed a moment later cumming down her throat.

  Gideon and Gabriel slipped out of her. When she stood Gabriel kissed her.

  “Come on, honey. Let’s get you cleaned up and I’ll tell you all about Cro-Magnon man and me.” Gideon snorted but Gabriel picked her up and cradled her to his chest. He winked at her. “Don’t mind him baby, he’s upset he doesn’t have my good looks.” He took her to his bedroom.

  Emily noticed the suit jacket laying on the bed. Oh god, I forgot about the wolf. Guilt overwhelmed her.

  “Where’s Gabe? The wolf I mean. I feel awful we…,” she asked.

  “He’s fine,” Gideon interrupted.

  Gabriel removed the coat and laid her in the centre of the bed. The men lay down on either side of her.

  “I will tell you all about the wolf, or wolves, in this case. Ask me anything,” he said.

  “How did you get hurt?” she asked.

  Gabe frowned “I lost a fight with a bulldog.”

  “Really? A dog did that?”

  “Yeah. You wouldn’t believe how fast that sucker moved. And it didn’t stop either.”

  “I’m sorry Sweetie. That’s awful,” Emily said, as she put her hand on his cheek. The need to comfort him was strong.

  Gabriel smirked at his brother. “You hear that Gideon? She called ME sweetie.”

  “You’re such a little prick,” Gideon replied.

  A tiny laugh escaped Emily. They were identical in every way except their personalities.

  “Did you both grow up here in Seattle?” she asked.

  “We were born in Alaska and lived there until we were seventeen. Our fathers taught us how to hunt and ice fish. Our mother was caring and beautiful, she was also an amazing cook…,” Gabriel answered.

  “Wait,” Emily said. “You had two fathers?”

  Gabe nodded. “Yes,our... let’s call it culture, mostly produces twin males. As we have the same genetic makeup men mate with the same woman. Our fathers were also identical twins.”

  “I’ve never heard of such a thing. What happened to your parents?” Being an orphan, she’d never had or lost a birthmother yet the sadness felt tangible.

  Gideon’s tone was cold. “They were murdered by a cock-sucking bastard named Julius.”

  ‘A cock-sucking vampire you mean.’ Gabriel messaged.

  ‘There’s no reason to scare her. We will kill Julius before he finds out we have a mate,’ Gideon replied.

  Emily covered her mouth. “Oh my God! I’m so sorry. Did the police catch him?”

  “No. Julius has certain gifts that allow him to evade the police... and us,” Gideon said.

  “How did you find out he was the one who murdered them?”

  Gideon’s voice raged when he spoke. “Because he killed them in front of me.”

  “Dear god!” Her hand involuntarily clutched her throat. She turned slightly toward Gideon. “How old were you when it happened?”

  “We were seventeen,” Gideon said.

  “How did you both escape the attack?”

  Gideon looked at his brother then back to her. “Gabe was with Doc our father’s best friend and I DIDN’T escape.”

  Her heart raced “What?” She was afraid for him even though he lay safely next to her.

  “He took me captive,” Gideon said. “Brought me to Seattle. He has a certain appetite. With our culture being so rare, he wanted to keep me. He held me for over month before Gabriel rescued me.”

  Emily felt a single tear run down her cheek. “That must have been awful for both of you.” She looked between the two men. Gideon’s expression was stone but Gabe’s reflected a sadness that left her wondering which brother had suffered the most.

  Gabriel kissed Emily’s hand looking at her.

  “It was hard to track him. He cut our telepathic link for almost two weeks before he was too weak to block me out.”

  “Did you say telepathic link? As in you guys talk to each other in your minds?” She said.

  “Yes,” Gabe said.

  Emily wanted to call them liars but she had a better idea.

  “Prove it,” she said.

  Gabriel raised one eyebrow. “How?”

  “You turn over and face the wall. Gideon, you stay where you are. I’m going to do someth
ing to Gideon. Gabe, you tell me what I’m doing.” She smiled down at Gideon. He smiled back but, unlike the time in the veterinary office, this one was genuine.

  She rubbed his nipple gently in a circular motion, then swirled the soft curls between his defined pecs. She followed the pattern of hair down his stomach. He was already hard. She bent her head.

  “I can handle you touching his hairy chest and playing with his nipples but if you are actually going to suck his cock there’s no way I’m facing the wall,” Gabriel said.

  Emily raised her head. “No way!”

  Gabe turned over, grinning.

  “Yes way,” he said.

  “Do you want to know what he’s thinking?” Gabriel whispered.

  She nodded distracted by his lips.

  “He wants you to climb on top of him. Slide your hot, little cunt over his cock and ride him while I fuck you in the ass.”

  Emily’s pussy convulsed. The heat previously quenched, ignited sending warmth through her entire body.

  Gabriel put his hand over hers. “It will always be this way. You needing us. Us needing you. You’re our mate Emily and, later, we will explain all that entails but for now I need you to ride Gideon.”

  Emily needed the heat between her legs to stop. The ache that only Gideon’s or Gabe’s cock could relieve. She climbed on top of Gideon and slid onto his shaft. He pulled her down and kissed her while Gabriel moved behind her.

  Gabriel’s tongue licking her anus caused Emilyto arch her back. Gideon’s hands dug into Emily’s hips and pulled her sharply down on him again. The rocking motion had her moaning into Gideon’smouth. She felt a cool gel between her buttocks. Gabriel lay his head between her shoulder blades. He parted the cheeks of her ass and slid a finger into her.

  She thought it would hurt but as she thrust back and forth between Gideon’s cock and Gabriel’s finger, she felt only the inferno her men had created. Gabriel added two more fingers. The tight fit stretched her tender muscles creating a burning pleasure.

  “Gabe?” Her voice was nervous as he pushed deep into the tight channel.

  “Relax baby. Your body wants this. It needs it,” Gabriel said.

  “Don’t move,” Gideon whispered continuing to kiss her. She tried to resume riding him but he pulled back. “I said don’t move.” It was a command. He grabbed her neck and held her face above his. She felt Gabriel’s cock at the entrance of her ass.

  He moved the tip of his cock in a circular motion before entering her slowly. Her pussy clamped down on Gideon. His brows knit in concentration. Gabe pushed deeper forcing her juices to trickle down her thighs. Her men were trying to be gentle but now she liked it rough. She went limp to confer surrender but, as Gabriel inched further, she thrust back.

  “Fuck,” they said, in unison. Gabriel pumped into Emily brutally as Gideon pulled her down on him with all his strength. The sharp bite of pain turned to pleasure as they both slammed into her with all their strength. The fast tempo created a sweet tension in her core.

  Her climax caused her pussy and her ass to spasm. She was held down on Gideon’s chest while both men released inside her. Her vagina continued to quiver from their combined ejaculation.

  She felt a warm cloth between her ass cheeks.

  “Roll over baby,” Gabriel said.

  She pushed herself up. Gabriel spread her legs to clean her. She protested but the cloth felt good and his ministrations sent new shocks straight to her pussy. She was exhausted but empty. She wanted to be full. Her mouth. Her ass. Her cunt.

  Emily moved the cloth away and knelt on the bed. She stretched her hands up, then slowly tracing them down her body. Gabriel watched her intently. She motioned to the leather chair in the corner.

  “Sit on the chair, Gabriel.”

  He showed surprise but complied. He stroked his cock as she approached him. She straddled him and put her bum in the air. The growl Gideon released increased her excitement. She felt Gideon’s cock against her ass and his hands on her hips.

  “Move your tight little cunt above my brother’s dick now,” he said.

  She did as she was told. But before she could lower herself onto Gabriel, Gideon pushed her down onto his brother’s cock and thrust into her ass with such force her breasts bounced against Gabriel’s chest. They pounded into her, slamming into the wall until Gideon rammed her with such force she screamed in pleasure.

  When Emily initiated the sex between the twins she had completed their mating. Gideon still wanted her to bite him, wanted to feel that sting of pain as he fucked her, but she already belonged to them. They all emitted the cinnamon mating pheromone that clung to their skin and permeated the air around them.

  Unlike a drug that slowed the senses, the mating pheromone heightened a mated trio’s awareness and enhanced their endurance. Emily should have been exhausted but craved more. Still, Gideon sensed their session would have to end. The mental link forming between them was increasing. Soon they would know what she was thinking. Feeling.

  She climaxed for the fourth time triggering Gabe and Gideon to ejaculate with her.

  “God,” Gabe said, as hugged her. “I love you.” He kissed her passionately.

  Gideon’s heart skipped. It wasn’t jealously. He was glad his brother could feel, and show, love for their mate. He knew he lacked the ability to feel that love himself. It was one of the things Julius had taken from him.

  Gideon pulled out of Emily’s tired body and pulled her gently off of Gabriel. He laid her on the bed and washed her with the cool cloth. Gabriel collected a fresh warm towel. They wiped the sweat from her body.

  “You need to sleep.” Gideon said, intending it to sound like a request but, as usual, it came out as a demand.

  “So bossy,” she said, rolling over onto her stomach. “Don’t forget to wash my back.”

  Gabriel smiled so wide his wolf canines protruded.

  “She is going to be trouble,” Gideon said, to his brother. Both cloths returned to her back.

  After she was clean, the twins lay down beside her. They dozed for a few hours when Gideon’s wolf roused him from his sleep.

  He smelled Julius and his boy toy a moment before the door burst open. Gideon and Gabe leapt out of bed. The ancient vampire dominated the doorway.

  Julius sneered at Emily as she grabbed a blanket. He shifted his gaze between the brother’s ripped, naked bodies.

  “My, my Gideon. You might have told me you had a twin. Think of the fun we could have had.”

  Gideon felt Emily’s emotions spike. He growled. “Julius if you don’t get the fuck out of here right now I’m going to kill you.”

  Julius shrugged. “Gideon how inhospitable of you. I have made such an effort to visit you, surely you can introduce me to your brother.” He scanned Gabriel’s body from top to bottom and finally rested his gaze on Gabriel’s flaccid cock. “Pity,” he said, raising his hand as if to motion someone in. The vampire puppet entered with two others.

  Julius inclined his head towards Gideon and Gabe. “Kill them,” he said.

  The two dark-haired vampires attacked the twins as they transformed to wolves. Gideon felt his left rib crack as a vampire continued to reign blows in the same spot. He was likely aware of vampire and shifter physiology and how both quickly healed. Gideon deflected the punches to his ribcage as he fought through the pain to bite and savage the man’s shoulder. The taste of decayed blood awakened the wolf’s killer instinct but decapitation was the only way to accomplish his goal.

  Gideon, unaccustomed to fear felt his heart twist as the puppet approached Emily.

  “Julius, you want me to kill the girl?” Puppet asked, impassively.

  “Gideon’s whores mean nothing to him. Do as you wish with the slut. Just grab the knife. It’s in the drawer beside the bed,” Julius said.

  Gideon realized his mistake as soon as Julius mentioned the knife. The blade was forged in Vlad the Impaler’s blood. An ancient like Julius could smell it. Puppet stepped around the fighting v
ampires and wolves.

  Gideon heard Emily frantically move over the bed and yank open the drawer. He couldn’t see her. He had his teeth locked onto a vampire he but he heard the headboard hit the wall and assumed she had grabbed the knife and shoved herself back. The puppet showed no sense of urgency as he approached her.

  Adrenaline momentarily heightened his strength as he ripped the throat out of the vampires. When the bloodsucker pushed his hand into the gaping wound to staunch the blood flow Gideon shifted to human form and grabbed the man’s head with both his hands. He twisted with supernatural force and the reverberating crack had the vampire screeching.

  Gideon threw the head on the floor before he turned toward Emily. She was holding the knife with the blade pointing out, the hilt between her breasts. The Puppet showed no fear as leaned into her. Nor did he try and stop her when she thrust the knife into his chest.

  Puppet smiled. He put his hand on the hilt. He looked down unable to grasp the handle. Shock registered on his face as black veins webbed their way across his exposed chest. He looked questioningly at Julius before he disintegrated.

  Emily wiped the burning ash from her body frantically as Julius attacked her. He had his hands locked around her neck before Gideon smashed into him from behind. Gideon transformed in the split second it took for the vampire to recover from the blow. The force of them colliding shook the pictures from the walls.

  Julius was incredibly strong but Gideon was no longer the innocent, seventeen year old boy who’d been locked in a cellar. The vampire gouged his side with his long nails and attempted to slice through Gideon’s fur. His canines attempted to rip the ancient’s throat out. Julius tore a large strip of flesh from Gideon’s side and the reaction from the pain gave Julius the moment he needed to dislodge the wolf and toss him aside. The shriek from the other vampire as Gabriel, in human form, ripped his head off caught Julius’ attention.

  Gabriel transformed and both predators advanced on Julius. No vampire lived a thousand years by being stupid. He was noticeably cautious as he backed away from the twin black wolves. His hand reached inside his velvet jacket and he threw a white powder in their eyes. Both Gabriel and Gideon shifted instantly to human.
