Chapter Twenty-Six

Glancing over at Annie, Candy thought about what had just happened. Her mind was racing with the possibilities of what could happen tomorrow between the three of them.



Of what she wanted to happen tonight. Annie reached over, her hand slipping into Candy’s. Fingers moving across her palm, adding to the heat she already felt. She knew it wasn’t the heat of being a werewolf. There was something about Annie that she couldn’t quite put her finger on.



“Candy?” Annie whispered, pulling Candy out of her thoughts.



“Yeah?” Candy asked absent mindedly as she threaded their fingers together, resting their hands on her thigh. She was hoping it would take away the desire she felt to pull the car over.



“What does it mean to have two mates? Would that be like what Beau wanted with me and Abby?



Candy glanced over at Annie, her breath catching in her throat as she tried to hold in a growl, “No, I’d never ask you to do that. I’d never ask you to be with me like that. My wolf is drawn to the both of you. I don’t want to hide you away, I want to take you out and show you off. If Stolas is along for the ride, I’d enjoy that too.



Bringing her hand up to touch her cheek, Annie could feel the warmth of the blush at Candy’s words. She had the feeling that she wouldn’t be the secret this time around. Her heart beat quicker at the thought, the butterflies in her stomach started to flutter. The rush of heat spread further down her body.



Her mate wanted her, and not just in the bedroom.



“I want to grow old with you,” Candy said, her voice a soft mummer. “To enjoy each other, to learn what you like. Because I really like you.”



“Candy-”



“I know, it sounds crazy. Before you, I would have said that other shifters were overreacting.” Candy said as she lifted Annie’s hand up to her lips. “Now that I know what’s like, I get it. The overwhelming need.”



Annie dipped her head down. She couldn’t understand what Candy was talking about. She needed Candy, needed her more than she’d ever needed anyone in her entire life.



It was like they were made for each other, when Candy touched Annie. She felt whole. She didn’t feel the same worry that she wasn’t enough.



“How do you think things will go over breakfast?” Annie asked as she rubbed her hand against her slacks, wiping her palm.



“I know how I’d like them to go.” Candy said, gripping the steering wheel tighter. She didn’t know if she’d be able to control herself around both of her mates.



“How’s that?” Annie asked, her lips quirking up into a smile. Her eyes were glued to the muscle in Candy’s cheek that was clenching and unclenching. She’d never seen something that turned her on as much as that small movement did. When Candy smiled, it gave her a dimple. When she gulped it moved, making Annie want to lean over and place her lips against the indented flesh.



“You, naked and laid out on the counter. Your thighs spread, so I could fuck you. While he watches or joins.”



“We might get caught.” Annie’s voice was low and thick with arousal as she thought about Candy’s words. Something about Stolas watching them sent a thrill through her. She had never really considered herself an exhibitionist. Candy’s words made her wonder what it would be like to be watched by the handsome devil.



Would his deep blue eyes darken with desire for them? Annie felt dizzy at the thought as her breathing quickened.



The growl from Candy pulled her from her thoughts, “What are you thinking about?”



“Him,” Annie said, pressing her thighs together. “Watching us as you-”



“I’m glad you like the idea. If it got to that point, do you think that you would be okay?” Candy’s voice was gravelly as she spoke, cutting off her mate. She knew she wouldn’t be able to handle it if Annie were to talk dirty to her. Her knuckles white as she gripped the steering wheel, trying not to pull the car over.



She wanted to take Annie, to lure her into the backseat. To taste the mouth watering scent that filled the car. The pack house came into view and she let out a whimper as the warm feeling moved over her skin.



“Candy, are you okay?”



“Yeah, just a bit on edge.” Candy said, pressing her foot on the accelerator. She needed to get them home soon. It felt like she was going to combust. As the heat intensified, rolling over her skin.



Annie pulled her hand from Candy, giving her thigh a soft squeeze. “Are you sure you’re okay?”



Candy’s eyes moved to the hand on her thigh before darting to Annie’s face.



“Yes,” she growled out and Annie shivered, the sound making things low in her belly clench up in anticipation of what was about to come.



Candy looked back to the road, navigating them back to the pack house. She pulled into the garage and slammed the car into park.



Undoing her seatbelt as she leaned over the center console, cursing it for being in her way. She pressed her lips against Annie’s. Nipping at her lower lip as she tangled her hands into her hair.



Annie’s lips parted with a gasp and she took advantage of it. Moving her tongue against her mate’s taking her time to explore the warm cavern of her mouth. To let the heat build up between them.



Annie fumbled with her seatbelt as Candy devoured her. For there was no other way to put how she was kissing her. It was a soul searing kiss that made her curl her toes and left her wanting more.



She pulled on the belt once more, letting out a growl of her own. A growl that made Candy pull back with a giggle, “What was that?”



“I’m stuck.” Annie panted, pulling at the belt once more as she pushed pressed her lips against Candy’s again.



“That was the cutest growl I’ve ever heard.” Candy whispered against her lips. Tracing her hand along the belt, pressing the button to free Annie. “Now you’re free.”



“Perfect timing, I think that’s Dev heading our way.” Annie said, leaning back and brushing her hair out of her eyes.



Candy looked back towards the garage door, trying to hold in her growl as she watched her friend stalk towards them. Leaning back, she pulled the keys from the ignition and opened the door.



It was clear to her that something had Dev in a mood, “You okay?”



“Yeah, just dragons.”



Candy glanced over at Annie, watching as her eyes widened. “Dragons are here?”



“Yeah and they’ve put me on the hunt for one of their mates.” Dev said as he moved closer towards the garage exit, breathing in the cool night air. “Roll my windows down first, I can tell what you two were doing.”
