Chapter Thirty-Four

Stolas was entranced as he watched the way that Candy kissed Annie. How the other woman responded to the demanding kiss, how her long lashes had fluttered closed. The way her hand moved from his chest to Candy’s hip, pulling her body even closer to the two of them.

“Candy’s kissing a girl.” A high-pitched voice sang from the open doorway and Stolas turned to look at the child who stood covering her mouth as the two women pulled away from each other.

“Kelly, where is your mom?” Candy asked, looking back at the child. The five year old giggled before running off.

Annie looked down, her face flaming red as her shoulders slumped. She didn’t know what to say. What to do now that she had kissed the two of them,

Well, she knew what she wanted to do, felt the heat of desire moving along her skin.

“So that movie?” Stolas asked, clearing his throat.

“Right, We’ll go pick one out.” Candy said, grabbing Annie’s hand and pulling her towards the hallway.

Annie looked back at Stolas as Annie pulled her along, his hooded eyes watching her. She was shocked over the emotions she saw playing across his face.

Turning to the sink, Stolas smiled to himself. He hadn’t expected the kiss to turn into something like that. Something that left him craving both women more than he had been before.

Turning the tap on, he clenched his fist as he thought about the heat that had spread over his skin from Annie. He had an idea of what Annie might be and why he was so drawn to her.

As he added soap to the water he realized he’d have to make a phone call later to make sure. He had a feeling that things were about to get very interesting for him, Candy, and Annie.

It did make sense on why her sister had so many mates. The weaker they were, the more mates were called to them.

“Candy, are you okay?” Annie asked, as the door closed behind them.

“Yeah,” she answered with a growl as she moved to her computer. “Just being around the two of you, it’s hard.”

“I could give you two some time, I’m sure Abby-”

“No, Annie, it’s not…” She paused, thinking about how to word her response. “It’s hard not to just, just throw you on the bed and take you. Then claim him. My beast is just a bit on edge.”

“Oh, I thought-”

“Annie, I meant what I said before.” Candy whispered, turning to look at Annie as she stood by the door, her hand resting on the smooth surface. “It’s not a one or the other, I could never push you to the side. You’re my mate.”

“So is he, I admit that I liked kissing him. Liked watching the two of you kiss.” Annie’s words trailed off in a whisper as Candy stepped away from her computer and closer to her.

“Just liked?” Candy asked as she moved closer, closing her eyes to breathe in the scent of Annie’s arousal.

“Okay, more than liked.”

“So if we…” Candy trailed off waggling her eyebrows.

“If we did, I wouldn’t say no to it happening.” Annie said, desire coiling low in the pit of her stomach as she thought about being with both Candy and Stolas.

A knock on the door interrupted them and Candy let out a groan of frustration before stalking towards the door. Dev pushed inside, moving to her closet.

“I need your help.”

“What’s wrong?” Candy asked, pressing her lips together.

“It’s the girl in my room. She needs clothes.”

“What about the ones she came in?” Candy asked, her lips twitching into a smirk as she moved to her dresser, pulling out a pair of shorts and a tank top. She was sure there was a story there. Dev had never come to her room asking for clothing for a bed-partner before.

“She didn’t, Candy-”

“You okay, man?” She asked, she’d never seen Dev’s wolf so close to the surface as he turned away from her closet. Taking the clothing in his hands.

“Yeah, thank you.” He said as he all but ran from the room.

“That was strange.” Annie said, looking away from the now open door back to Candy.

“Even for Dev it was, I’ll be right back. Why don’t you pick something for us to watch?” Candy said, moving to peck Annie on the lips before she left the room.

Annie sat down in the computer chair, the soft pink leather creaking underneath her as she leaned over to turn the computer on. The tower made a soft noise as the fans whirled to life, the screen flashing to life.

She sat, looking at the screen before opening the browser to open Netflix. Clicking on Candy’s name, she wasn’t sure what type of movie they would like to watch.

She didn’t like horror, and it seemed like the last movie that Candy had watched was a horror movie. Scrolling through the history, she frowned. It seemed like that was the type of movie that Candy liked best.

Leaning back, she crossed her arms over her chest as a tap at the door pulled her attention away from the screen.

“Is it okay if I come in?” Stolas asked as he leaned against the door frame.

Spinning around, Annie looked over at him. “Yes.” She said, watching as he moved over to the unmade bed, sitting down on it. His hands clasped together as he leaned closer to her.

Annie couldn’t help but study him, the way the sunlight moved through his long dark hair. Catching shades of purple and blue mixed with the black. His eyes now blue instead of the dark shock of black, more human looking but no less sexy than he’d looked before.

Stolas used this time to study her. The bags under her eyes were slowly shrinking. Her cheeks looked fuller, hair richer. If he didn’t know any better, he’d say that she’d put on a little bit of weight since she’d been with Annie.

It all lined up for him, he reached out. His fingertips moving over her wrist as he pulled her closer. The chair gliding across the smooth wood floor.

He planted a knee on either side of her legs, pinning her in place. “Annie, I just wanted to tell you. That I would like to date you. Both you and Candy. It will never be one or the other for me. I want you, both. I’ll prove it to you both, I’m not going anywhere.”
