secret.
    But that wasn’t possible. And now she was having a stare down with Dylan who was crouched on the ground. Despite everything, she knew she was safe the men—even Dylan. If he’d wanted to hurt her, he could have done it long before now.
    Rising in all his naked glory, he stood in front of her.
    Her gaze skittered everywhere. At Daniel and Josiah. At him. At his rapidly filling cock. He snaked an arm around her waist and pulled her to him, bringing his mouth down on hers. Her lips parted on a gasp of surprise. Though her fear had begun to subside, adrenaline still pumped through her body. The attraction she felt for Dylan and her feelings for Daniel and Josiah funneled the adrenaline rush into desire, muffling her thoughts about shifters and mates until all she could her was the rushing of blood in her ears. Giving in to the moment, she melted against the heated length of Dylan’s tightly muscled body.
     
    Dylan knew the second she accepted his touch. Her nipples hardened against his chest and he could smell the heat rising from her pussy.
    Lifting his head, he stared into her sleepy brown eyes. “Your scent drives me crazy,” he whispered as he nipped at her jaw line. “I smell you on them constantly.”
    A breathy whimper escaped her at his words.
    He might not want her in the forever sense that the other men did, but he’d finally admitted to himself that he did want her. He’d been nearly certain she was interested in him, too, but her hands skimming over his body proved it.
    Daniel had stepped close to her side, brushing his lips along her neck and up to her ear. “Shifter mates mate with more than one member of the pack. Partially to help protect our secret—the fewer people who know the better—and partially because we typically like to share.”
    Her nipples hardened against Dylan’s chest as Daniel spoke, and she tentatively stroked Dylan’s tongue with her own as he continued to plunder her mouth.
    He could tell by her taste that she wasn’t his mate. His chance for a mate of his own had died with Kelsey. He shoved down the pain and focused on the warm, willing woman in his arms.
    “Dylan’s not ready to mate,” his brother continued. “But he does want you. We all do.”
    Dylan lifted his head and started into Hollis’ sleepy brown eyes. “You okay with that, sugar? Me joining in every once in a while?”
    He watched her as thoughts clearly chased themselves round her head.
    Finally, she nodded and looped her arm around Daniel’s neck and pulled him in for a searing kiss. Dylan couldn’t help but grind his cock against her soft mound. She moaned into his brother’s mouth so Dylan did it again. Breaking away from Daniel, she turned toward Josiah, grabbed the front of his shirt and hauled him close, kissing him, too.
    Dylan slid his hands up her ribcage and brushed his thumbs across the undersides of her lush, full breasts. She arched into his touch, her head dropping back against the rough bark of the tree, silently begging for more. Who was he to deny her? He cupped the trembling mounds through the fabric of her blouse, her nipples hard and insistent against his palms.
    He’d overheard her earlier conversation with Daniel and Josiah, and he’d kissed her partially out of fear that she’d take off and get hurt the way Kelsey had and partially to distract her from running off before they could convince her that she belonged with them. But mostly, he’d kissed her because he wanted her. He hadn’t been able to get the image out of his head of her taking Josiah’s cock into her mouth while Daniel fucked her from behind. He knew he shouldn’t have stood there watching them from the cover of darkness, but he hadn’t been able to stay away. He’d managed to since then, but when he’d felt Daniel’s concern and anger, he’d had to come over tonight. As he pulled down her bra cups, freeing her rose-tipped breasts, he was glad he’d made the trip.
    He rolled her nipples between
