Cade watched them both, feeling the intensity of what they had together, feeling love for his brother and this mate of his and no small amount of envy. He wanted this for himself, wanted a mate bond that would hold him, fill him. Complete him. He was forty years old and it was high time.

Lex broke the kiss and met Cade’s eyes over Nina’s shoulder. He turned her slowly to face Cade.

Nina nearly gasped as she caught the look of raw hunger on Cade’s face. He looked like Lex but the lips were a bit more full, his eyes were hazel instead of green and his hair was more blond than brown. An aura of power emanated from him, she could feel it rising like heat from the pavement.

Lex pulled the shirt she was wearing over her head and then slid her bra off. Her ni**les pebbled against Cade’s greedy gaze and in response to Lex’s large hands cupping her br**sts, the thumbs brushing over the dark pink tips.

Her head fell back against the wall of Lex’s chest and Cade moved forward. He fell to his knees, his hands at her waist, opening her jeans and sliding them down with her tiny panties. She reached out to hold his shoulder for balance when she stepped out of her clothes, and the spark of connection traveled up her arm.

Turning his head, he brushed his lips across the pulse point of her wrist and she gasped softly.

Lex moved so that his lips were at her ear. “Come back to the bed, beautiful.”

She allowed herself to be pulled back and laid on the bed. She looked up at them both and watched as they pulled their clothes off. Cade was taller than Lex but his muscle wasn’t as dense. He had a thicker pelt of hair on his chest and down the line of his abdomen than Lex did and his legs were longer. And his cock, well, she had to try and not stare but it was thick, meaty and had a swing to the left. And it was happy to see her.

Ah, the bounty that greeted her eyes! She’d gone from no sex in years to this? Damn! Yes indeed, the bitter with the sweet. The ache of her recent loss played up against the exhilaration of this joining of lives she had with Lex.

Lex looked down at her, at her smile, the way her hair spread out about her head, her high, full br**sts, the curve of her thighs and stomach. Her deep olive complexion. She was so beautiful, so sexy and desirable. At that moment he felt proud of her, this exceptional woman who was his, as he shared her with his Alpha, his brother.

Cade crawled on the bed, between her legs, and kissed his way from the back of her knee up the ultra-sensitive skin of her inner thighs, coming to a stop at her pu**y.

Lex leaned down and kissed her lips and down her neck. She arched and gasped as Cade used his thumbs to part her labia and took a lick and then another.

“So sweet,” he murmured against her flesh. Lex chuckled around her nipple and then bit down just on the edge of gentle.

Where Lex ate her pu**y with long slow licks, Cade flicked her clit relentlessly with the tip of his tongue while he f**ked her with his fingers. The first time he hit her G-spot she nearly came off the bed.

“Ah, I see I found something. Let’s try that again,” he said briefly and began to stroke her sweet spot every few times he thrust into her with a “come here” motion of his fingers.

Her legs began to tremble and she whipped her head back and forth. She was moaning and gasping and her hands gripped Lex’s head to her as he moved from one nipple to the other.

“Let it go, beautiful. Show him how gorgeous you are when you come,” Lex said softly to her, urging her on.

One of Cade’s fingers, wet with her honey, slipped down and tickled around her rear passage at the same time as he scraped over her clit with his teeth. She arched with a cry as climax rushed into her, drowning her in pleasure. The shock of it lit her nerves and tingled through her body.

Lex held her tight and kissed her, pulling her gasping cries into his mouth.

Cade looked up and watched her come, watched the flush of desire bloom over her body. He saw Lex’s face as he took her in, soaked in her pleasure and the beauty of the moment. He envied it.

“You ready for me?” he asked softly and she looked down at him, her eyes coming back into focus.

She looked back up at Lex, wanting to be sure that they were on the same page. “Are you okay with this?” she whispered.

“It’s okay, baby. Just enjoy it.” He kissed her forehead and looked at his brother, who had waited and then moved up her body when he saw it was all right.

Nina locked eyes with him and he moved her thighs up over his forearms and pressed his c**k against her slick pu**y, feeling the wet heat envelop him in a tight grip.

“Jesus, you’re so tight,” he said through clenched teeth. It was so good that the pleasure gripped his guts and spine. She was so luscious, so beautiful, that he was in sensory overload. He wanted to make it last but he knew that it wasn’t his place. He knew that this was for the tri-bond and that this woman was not his, nor would she ever be.

He closed his eyes against her appeal and stroked into her. Her body received his with a rhythm older than time. Lex was behind her, his body curled around hers. Nina tipped her head back to see his face and then looked to Cade again.

It was beautiful and yet surreal. Lex was giving his most prized possession to his brother, even if on a temporary basis. He watched another man f**k his woman, he should have felt jealous, but he didn’t. It was something as old as their culture and it was going to anchor her to this life, keep her safe and sane and with him. He knew that should anything ever happen to him that Cade’s bond would see her through. That made him feel relieved and intensely emotional about it. His wolf was protecting his mate, it was primal and feral and right.
