Wolves at the Door (MMM) Page 4

  They stared at each other without talking, and Steven grew wary. He eased back a bit. “What’s going on? I don’t want to make you two fight. We don’t have to keep going right now. I’ll understand if we stop.”

  Patrick looked at him, but Aiden lowered his eyes. “We don’t mean to frighten you, but in a way Aiden is right. We need to tell you something before either of us make love to you.”

  “The sharing thing? I get it. I don’t think I could take you both in my ass though. Is that it?” Steven asked.

  Patrick smiled. “I think you could, but being between us would be better.” He leaned down and brushed his lips to Steven’s. “Fucking Aiden while I fuck you. It would be beautiful.”

  “Then what? Tell me. I trust you two, though maybe I shouldn’t. Be honest with me.”

  “We’re shape shifters, baby. Werewolves, you would say. We both change into wolves whenever we want to.”

  Steven frowned, and then that frown turned to a scowl, which he aimed right at Patrick. He didn’t try to hide his anger. “I ask for honesty, and you make fun of me?” He stood up as quickly as he could with his injury.

  Aiden scowled at Patrick as well, who now looked angry.

  “I am not making fun of you,” Patrick said. “So both of you stop looking at me like that!”

  The command made Steven jump. Patrick calling himself an “alpha” suddenly took on a new meaning. He was controlling, a bully, the kind of guy who got angry when he didn’t get his way.

  “I would like to go home now,” Steven said. “Please.”

  “I’m telling you the truth, Steven,” Patrick said. “We’re wolves. Animals. That’s why just looking at you gets us both hard. Wolf packs share mates. You’re ours. We can sense it, and we know you sense it, too.”

  “Stop it!” Aiden said. “You’re upsetting him. He doesn’t understand, you asshole!”

  Patrick had Aiden on the floor beneath him in two seconds. “You pick the worst times to stand up to me,” Patrick said through clenched teeth, his hand on Aiden’s collarbone and far too close to his neck for Steven’s comfort.

  “No!” Steven said. “Get off of him!” He began pulling on Patrick’s shoulders. “He’s sweet and kind, and you’re just a bully! That’s not love!”

  Patrick allowed Steven to pull him off. “We’ll show you, Steven.” Patrick took his shirt off and undid his pants.

  “What are you doing?” Steven asked.

  “I’m going to shift.” Patrick moved closer.

  “No! Stop it!” Steven ran for the door, and he tripped, crying out and barely catching himself. Aiden was at his side in a moment.

  “Patrick, go in the bedroom. You’re making everything worse. Please just go!”

  Steven felt the tension build between the two men, but after a few long moments Patrick left the room.

  “I’m sorry, Steven,” Aiden said very gently.

  “Does he hurt you?” Steven asked. “You’re better than that, Aiden.” He caressed the gorgeous man’s cheek. “I know he’s big, but I’ll help you.”

  Aiden swallowed. “Let me take you home. I’ll explain.”

  They moved out of the house and to the car in silence. When they arrived at Steven’s home, Aiden helped him inside, all the way to his bedroom.

  “Did you hurt your ankle again?”

  Steven shook his head. “It just gave out. It’s my knee I hurt. I think it’s just a bruise though.”

  “Steven?” Aiden licked his lips, popping his knuckles as if he was nervous.

  “Yeah?”

  “It’s not a lie. We’re wolves. Will you allow me to show you?”

  Steven’s heart pounded as the words sank in. Aiden would never tease someone like this. He’d only known the man one day, but he felt very connected to him. “That’s impossible.”

  “Let me. Please. Patrick’s not abusive. He’s an alpha. He expects submission, and it hurt his feelings you didn’t believe him. It also upset him when I didn’t try to back him up, defending you instead. He’s my mate, so my loyalty is supposed to be to him. Please let me prove it to you. I can’t excuse his attitude, but I can show you he wasn’t lying.”

  Steven nodded. “Okay. Do it.”

  Aiden stripped his clothes off quickly, and despite his fear, Steven became aroused. Aiden’s breathing quickened, and soon his eyes changed color, almost glowing yellow. Steven gasped as the change happened. It wasn’t like in the movies. The change was slow, and after a few moments Steven looked away and closed his eyes. When the room became still, Steven opened his eyes. A beautiful gray wolf sat before him, and Steven got down on his knees. The wolf nuzzled him, and Steven stroked its fur.

  “This can’t be real,” Steven whispered.

  Aiden stood and trotted around the room, as if showing off. Then, he changed back. Steven looked away immediately, overwhelmed. The shift seemed like something private he shouldn’t be watching. He turned back when Aiden’s hands cupped his face. Steven’s lips trembled as he tried to talk.

  “It’s okay,” Aiden said, kissing him deeply.

  Steven responded to the kiss, his hands roaming over Aiden’s beautiful naked body.

  “You smell so good, Steven,” Aiden said as he kissed Steven’s neck.

  Steven gripped Aiden’s cock, excited that he’d made Aiden hard. “Can I fuck you?”

  Aiden moaned. “Let’s suck each other, sixty-nine.”

  “You won’t be with me without him here?”

  “He’s my mate, Steven. Even though we’ve declared that we both want you to join our pack, it would be disrespectful.”

  Steven stroked Aiden’s cock. “I don’t understand. I’m not like you.”

  “Doesn’t matter.” Aiden moved his hips to fuck Steven’s hand. “Wolves are faithful, just not monogamous. Our relationships are … not polygamous. Polyamorous, I guess you’d say.” He moaned when Steven tightened his hand. “We share lovers. It’s been just us two a long time. We’ve longed for another. And you’ve lit a spark for both of us. Patrick was getting antsy, like he knew you were close.”

  “What if I’m not sure about him yet?” Steven bent down and licked the head of Aiden’s cock and then went back to stroking him.

  Aiden looked into his eyes. “Give it time. You need to give yourself to us, not only me.”

  “He scares me, Aiden.”

  “Give him another chance. I’ll talk to him.”

  Steven began undressing, the need to be close to Aiden getting stronger. “I need your touch. Now.”

  “It’s our pull. That’s what you’re feeling.”

  Was it? Steven couldn’t be sure. He shook his head, looking into Aiden’s sweet brown eyes. “I’m horny and lonely and scared, nothing more. I do like you, but … I can’t guarantee more than what I’m offering this moment.”

  Aiden mirrored the headshake. “Just enjoy this. Don’t overthink it. I’m already falling for you. That’s why I stood up to my alpha, which is frowned upon. I want you with my body, but my heart is responding, too. Do you feel it? We had fun just being together today, didn’t we?”

  “Yes.” Steven jerked his cock. “Aiden, please.”

  “Okay. I see you need this. Lie down.”

  Steven obeyed, and Aiden got on top of him. His knees settled on each side of Steven’s head, and he immediately took Steven’s cock in his mouth. Steven groaned and licked at the huge cock before him. He’d never done this before, and it felt amazing to be sucked while also enjoying the feel of a huge cock in his mouth. Their moans filled the room, and Aiden’s mouth felt perfect. Aiden seemed even more aroused than he had the night before, his mouth more aggressive now. Aiden’s pre-cum tasted good, and his cock leaked a lot of the fluid tonight. Steven sucked and laved the cock, trying to take all of it. Then Aiden pulled away.

  “Lube?” Aiden asked, pumping his cock.

  Steven pointed, and Aiden scrambled. Steven spread his legs and moaned as he watched Aiden prepare himself.

  �
�I can’t … resist you,” Aiden said, spearing lubed fingers into Steven. “But I can’t let you take me. Please understand.”

  Steven wanted it so much he didn’t care. “We’ll talk later. Please take me.”

  Aiden slid into him, his eyes dark with need. “It’s more than lust. Do you feel it?”

  Aiden did feel amazing, and Steven pumped his cock as Aiden took him. “Different … yes.”

  Aiden leaned down and kissed Steven as they fucked. The kiss was heated and intimate, Aiden looking into his eyes the whole time. “Don’t turn from us.”

  “Aiden,” Steven said with a whimper.

  Speeding up, Aiden fucked him without mercy, and Steven climaxed harder than he ever had before. Steven clung to him, continuing the amazing kiss. He felt complete in a way he couldn’t explain. When Aiden came, Steven’s pleasure amped up again. He couldn’t get enough of Aiden’s hungry kiss.

  “You’re mine now, Steven, and I want you to be ours. I’ve claimed you. I will always be loyal to you. There is nothing I would deny you.”

  Steven clung to Aiden. “I can’t promise things like that. I need time. I don’t like the way he treated us. The way he handled you so roughly.”

  “I’ll talk to him.” Aiden pulled away and dressed, apparently not caring that Steven’s cum was all over his chest and stomach. “Will you let me take you to get your car tomorrow?”

  “Shit.” Steven had forgotten about that. “Yes, please. I’d forgotten. Thank you.”

  “Of course.” Aiden put his hands in his pockets. “Will you see us tomorrow night?”

  “Let me think about it. I don’t think I’ll be ready to see him yet.”

  Aiden nodded. “Okay.” He kissed Steven, a sweet and loving embrace. “I’ll be here at seven.”

  Steven nodded. “Good night, Aiden. I just need time.”

  Aiden smiled and left. Steven lay there on his bedroom floor, staring at the ceiling. He’d just been fucked by a man who could turn into a wolf. That man had a very aggressive mate who wanted to fuck Steven, too. He pinched himself, amazed he didn’t wake up when he did so.

  “The hell have I gotten myself into?” He sighed, forcing himself up so he could shower and get in bed.

  Chapter Five

  Patrick pulled Aiden close as soon as he entered the bedroom. “You made love to him.” He stripped Aiden’s shirt off and kissed his skin, tasting the cum smeared all over him.

  “I’m angry with you,” Aiden said, even as he arched against Patrick’s mouth. “You upset him and scared him. Our relationship won’t be the same if he’s scared of you and clings to me too much.”

  “I’m sorry,” Patrick said. He licked Aiden’s chest, teasing his nipples as he cleaned all of the cum off of him. Aiden moaned, though Patrick could feel the tension in his body. “Give me your ass.”

  Aiden dropped to his knees and lowered his pants. “Apologize to him when he comes back. Don’t act like that again.”

  Patrick licked Aiden’s hole. “Did you give him your cum?”

  Aiden moaned again. He pushed his ass against Patrick’s mouth. “Yes. He’s mine now. I came into him and filled that cute little ass.”

  Patrick slapped Aiden’s ass. “You’re torturing me. I wanted to see it.”

  “You scared him! You deserve it.”

  Delving deep, Patrick ate Aiden’s ass until Aiden panted with need. He got into position and entered his mate roughly. “I’m sorry, baby. Say you forgive me.”

  “When he forgives you, I will.”

  Patrick took him more roughly. “Then you better come hard. I’m going mad with need.”

  Aiden pushed back against Patrick. “He’s human, and I’m falling for him. You have to be gentle. I’ve claimed him. You know how that feels. I won’t let you scare him.”

  Feeling frenzied with need, Patrick gripped Aiden’s shoulders and pounded into him. Aiden came, his cum splashing on the floor. Patrick released into him, but he still felt pent up. He kissed Aiden’s back and caressed him. “Say you still love me.”

  Aiden rolled to his back and stared up at Patrick. “Of course I do. I’m only trying to get it through your thick head that he is human.”

  “You grew up around more humans. I still have problems at times. I hardly knew any until high school when I stopped doing home school. Be patient, baby.”

  “You be patient. Don’t give me that old bullshit. You had human neighbors just like me. You were the one who avoided them.”

  Patrick sat back on his heels, frustrated. “I know I have flaws, baby. Help me with him.”

  “I’ll see him in the morning and try to gauge his feelings. Don’t contact him, all right?”

  After a brief hesitation, Patrick nodded. “All right.” He stood and helped his mate up. “It’s no surprise he prefers you.”

  “Don’t start that, Patrick. There’s nothing wrong with you that you can’t fix with a little will power.”

  Patrick sighed, feeling elated from their coupling yet defeated at the same time. “As much as I love you, the alpha in me wants our pack completed. It’s getting to me. We’ve been without him too long.” He nuzzled against Aiden. “His scent on you is driving me wild.”

  Aiden kissed his cheek tenderly. “Wash up and get in bed. I’ll make you a toddy. Trust me to do my job, which is aiding my alpha.”

  Patrick kissed him back. “Okay, baby.” As Aiden left, he went into the bathroom and turned the water on. Of course I managed to fuck it up. He’s human. Did I expect him to roll over the way Aiden did? He kept upbraiding himself. His mind refused to quiet until Aiden returned. Climbing into the shower, Aiden washed him and then they stepped out, Aiden also drying him.

  “What would I do without you?” Patrick asked as he accepted his drink.

  “Spend lots of time in jail for fighting and lewd acts,” Aiden said with teasing affection.

  “Point taken,” Patrick whispered as he followed his much smarter and infinitely more loveable mate to their bed. He managed to drift off to sleep once Aiden rolled over and took him into gentle, loving arms. Aiden usually slept spooned in Patrick’s arms, but tonight this was what they both needed.

  Steven smiled at Luke, very happy to be around someone who wasn’t incredibly confusing. They’d both been busy all morning, barely able to say two words to each other, but it was past noon now. “Ready for lunch?” Steven asked as Luke hung up his phone and sat back in his chair, stretching.

  “Yeah. My treat, too. I insist. You’ve been nicer to me than anyone here, and it worried me when you didn’t show up and didn’t call in right away.”

  Steven hesitated, trying to figure out how to spin this. “Yeah, that’s because I took something for the pain and overslept. I wake up automatically at six most days, so I thought I’d wake up. It was my fault.”

  “You feel okay today? You seem to be moving fine.”

  “It was just a minor sprain, but it hurt so much I went to the doctor anyway. My neighbors took me and helped with my car, which is fine now.” Aiden and Patrick had paid for his car before Steven got the chance to. He’d protested to Aiden, but the mechanic had handed him the keys and walked back into the shop with a friendly wave, leaving no room for argument. The ride with Aiden had been a little awkward, but the man had been very kind and considerate. Steven had declined getting together with them tonight, which had obviously disappointed Aiden. He had promised to call Aiden that night, though. He pulled away from thoughts of Aiden and focused on Luke. Don’t space out on the only other friend you’ve made!

  “Good. Glad it wasn’t too serious.” Luke stood up. “Let’s head. You fine to walk through the deck, or should I bring the car to the elevator?”

  Steven rose and shifted on his feet. “I can make it, I think. Thanks, though.”

  “Sure.” Luke smiled warmly as they started walking.

  Did Luke like him? Aiden hadn’t seemed jealous or bothered, but Steven felt sure Patrick didn’t like Steven
going to lunch with another man. Do I care what Patrick thinks? He’s gorgeous, and I loved it when he touched me. An image of Patrick pinning Aiden down shot into his head. That had frightened him. But Aiden loved Patrick—that was very clear. Steven didn’t think Patrick’s dominating and pushy behavior could be excused simply because the two men weren’t exactly human. Even if they did change into wolves, shouldn’t they conduct themselves in a civilized manner the rest of the time?

  Steven had actually gone online as he drank his coffee very early that morning to read up on wolf behavior, especially alpha behavior. Though he hadn’t said so, he knew he could fall in love with Aiden easily. Patrick was a sexy, virile bonus. But a ménage relationship? It sounded unrealistic. He sighed.

  “You all right? Getting tired?”

  Steven blushed. “I’m sorry, Luke,” he said as they stopped by Luke’s car. “I’m tired and dealing with a lot of stuff. This is so rude. I have no other friends and shouldn’t be so distracted.”

  Luke moved closer. “It’s okay, Steven. I’m here if you need me.”

  Steven looked into Luke’s eyes, which were a very light, pretty green. “Thank you.”

  Luke leaned in and kissed Steven lightly on the lips. The question of Luke liking him was answered then and there. Steven responded briefly, but then he backed away.

  “I’m seeing someone, Luke.” He hesitated. “Kind of. It’s one of the things distracting me. I’m sorry.”

  Luke nodded slowly, but then he cupped Steven’s face. “Just my luck, of course. I can back off. But if things don’t work out, I’d like to take you to dinner.” He dropped his hand and shrugged. “Just keep it in mind. I’d like to be friends, and I really can back off. I wouldn’t want to be with a cheater anyway. Loyalty means a lot to me.”

  Loyalty. Steven thought of Aiden and wished he’d pulled away sooner. Luke’s kiss had been sweet, but it didn’t compare to what he felt with Aiden. “Thank you, Luke. I’d like to be friends, too.”

  They got into the car and exited the deck, Steven feeling more at ease but his thoughts still constantly straying to the two wolves next door.
