Free Leah's Triplet Mates by Cara Adams Page B

their mate yet.
    “Calling her our mate is a big deal. We need to be very sure before we do that. There’s no such thing as divorce, and we can’t afford to get it wrong.”
    “I know that. But no one has ever aroused me the way she does. Admit it, Saxon. There’s not one woman any of us has ever met who appeals to us as much as Leah does.”
    Bram was right. Just thinking about her made his dick leap with hope that they’d be able to see her again soon. Although six a.m. wasn’t really the kind of time he had in mind, and a church wasn’t the place either. The dungeon or the bedroom would be better.
    “We need to find a way to accompany her to sell the stamp albums. At least that’ll get her alone with us for a few hours.”
    “You’re forgetting that it’s Maia who’s done all the work with that. Maia will be with her, too.”
    Damn!

Chapter Five
     
    Diego Reed, the youngest of the Reed triplets, had always been Bram’s best friend, so he was naturally the one Bram turned to when they needed a ride home.
    “Fuck, Hardy. I saw your car in the basement parking lot at the warehouse. What happened to it?” Diego asked as he pulled up.
    “Shut up.”
    Bram tried hard not to laugh at Hardy’s response, but the entire pack was going to find out about Leah sooner or later, so they might as well tell Diego now.
    “We’ve found her mate, and she’s feisty.”
    “Ah, man, she has to consent. Freely consent. You know that, don’t you?”
    “Of course we know that. Shut up, Bram. You talk too much.” That was Saxon in his usual bossy, oldest brother style.
    “Like the whole pack isn’t going to notice what’s happened to my car,” complained Hardy.
    Bram laughed again. He could hear Leah’s voice in his mind, as clear as anything. “You shouldn’t have locked me in the trunk if you didn’t want me to damage your car.”
    Although it would never have occurred to him in a million years that she’d smash her way out of the car and escape.
    “So where did you meet this feisty mate? And why did she smash your car? Or were in a road accident with her? Wait up. Weren’t you supposed to be out on a job last night?”
    “We were on a job last night, and that’s where we met her. I don’t think the details are any of your business, Diego,” said Saxon dismissively.
    “Uh-huh. Perhaps you’d prefer to walk home. It can’t be much more than ten miles from here.”
    They’d just reached the freeway, and Bram was looking forward to a long nap and a hot shower. Certainly not to walking home. “Loosen up, Saxon. Everyone is going to know about Leah soon anyway. We met her at the job. She was in the way so we put her in the trunk of Hardy’s car.”
    “She escaped,” added Hardy.
    “Trashing your car in the process. I see. But how did your car end up back at the warehouse while you three were all the way back in town.”
    “We wanted to see where she lives,” said Saxon.
    “To learn all about her,” added Hardy.
    Bram nodded. “She’s special.”
    “Does she know we’re shape-shifters?” asked Diego.
    That was a damn good question. He wondered if maybe she did, but how could she? It wasn’t like they’d told her. Hell, they hadn’t really had any proper conversations with her at all. He’d talked more to the people on his table over lunch than to Leah. But with the whole triplet thing, her parents had exchanged looks that made him wonder.
    “We haven’t said anything to her about that,” said Hardy slowly.
    “But?” asked Diego.
    “Her parents exchanged knowing glances when they saw us. They spoke about meeting people with several sets of twins.” Saxon was speaking even more thoughtfully than Hardy had done. Bram knew he was right. They were triplets and shared the same DNA. There were times like this when they all thought very much the same thing, without having discussed it previously.
    “I think her family knows about shape-shifters and has worked with a pack in the past. Maybe
