Being together could mean death to them all, but walking away is not an option…
Bloodlines need to be protected at all costs and as a true-blood cougar Maria is expected to mate with a council-approved shifter. Too bad the one chosen makes her skin crawl for all the wrong reasons.
But running away already landed her in hot water once before. Wolf shifter Malachi Luca saved her life ten years ago, and then promptly disappeared with her heart. So much for true love.
Now time is running out and Maria is feeling the strain. Seducing Professor Silas Deacon should be a welcome distraction except the human turns out to be her mate, too.
And that damn wolf—yeah he's back and determined to claim both his cat and his human. What's a girl to do? Fight for love and enjoy the awesome sex, of course.
Be Warned: menage sex (MMF), m/m sex, bondage, spanking, anal sex
Excerpt:
Maria couldn't get enough air into her lungs, and she yanked on her restraints, the longer the two of them just stood there watching her through hooded lids.
Relax, little cat. Let us take care of you, and we'll deal with the rest of the world tomorrow, or next week.
Silas winked at her, and Maria's agitated cat calmed down. In fact the animal bowed her head in submission and hissed her approval when Malachi pulled his tee over his head. Her throat went dry taking in the hair roughened expanse of his chest and the force of his erection straining his jeans. Silas, too, shrugged out of his shirt and kicked off his trousers and boxer briefs in one impatient move. His magnificent cock bounced up to his navel, and Maria whimpered when he took himself in hand and stroked along his impressive girth. She couldn't tear her gaze away from the slow movement of that hand. Not even when Malachi tore her dress off her with one abrupt flick of his clawed hands.
Cool air fluttered across her exposed skin, and her breasts grew heavy as her nipples tried their best to punch through the lace of her bra. The bed dipped again when Malachi knelt next to her and with a few well-placed flicks of his claws cut away their lacy covering. He continued a downward path of pleasuring pain toward her mound, using just enough force to leave a red trail behind. The slow slide and drag of those razor-sharp nails of his caused her whole body to tense, as sensations bombarded her. More of her juices gushed out of her as her pussy clenched in desperate need to be filled, and her hips pushed up when he circled her clit with his claw, lazy, incredibly slow circles that had her panting and undulating her hips in an effort to increase the pressure to that little swollen nubbin.
"Lie still, princess, or so help me I'll leave you hanging." Malachi's hot hand landed on her belly and pushed her hips back down on the bed at the same time as Silas stepped close enough for Malachi to grasp hold of his cock. The action meant he abandoned Maria's needy clit, and she whimpered when he licked away the bead of pre-cum that had appeared on Silas's dick.
"Fuck, yes." Silas hissed the words as Malachi took all of his lover's dick in his mouth and fondled his balls with one hand. The other still held her hips down, and Maria bit her lip as arousal fizzed through her veins. She wanted to come so badly, and she was so damn close that the slight wafts of air, created by Malachi bobbing his head up and down on Silas's cock made her clit contract with need.
Silas fisted his hands in Malachi's hair and fucked his mouth with an urgency and brutal need that he'd never displayed with her. She tore her gaze away from the sight of Malachi's lips stretched across Silas's dick to find Silas's gaze riveted between her thighs.
Maria whimpered at the heat of that gaze, until Silas pulled away from Malachi and knelt next to her head instead.
Grasping his dick, slick with Malachi's saliva, he ran it across her bottom lip, and Maria opened her mouth eagerly to take in as much as he could. Silas kept his hand on the base of his shaft to stop her from choking on his length, and she shot him a grateful look, as he started to fuck her mouth. The taste of him mixed in with Malachi's earthy scent, and she swallowed the first spurts of his cum down.
"Fuck, that's so hot."
Malachi's words sounded strained and slightly distorted as though he was more wolf than man right now, and Silas fucked her faster. One hand wrapped in her hair as he held her head at just the right angle to serve his needs, and the knowledge that he used her to his ends, had her grow even wetter. The rip of fabric as her underwear tore made her shudder, and there was the swipe of Malachi's rough tongue, and her body tensed. His claws dug into her ass as he lifted her up to give himself better access to her drenched core, and she screamed as her first orgasm ripped through her body.
Malachi chuckled into her pussy and then stepped up his efforts as Silas pulled out of her mouth and his hot cum splashed over her breasts.
Maria was too far gone to care, because Malachi now pushed two fingers into her channel, and finding her sweet spot in record time sent her over the edge twice more.
By the time she could draw air into her lungs, Silas was removing her leg shackles and Malachi had rid himself of his trousers. His cock was just as thick, if not thicker than Silas's. It wasn't quite as long, and the head of his dick looked swollen and purple, the balls drawn up tight to his body as though he was barely holding in his cum.
Malachi’s stubble glistened with the evidence of her arousal, and when he bent to devour her mouth his with his, she tasted herself in with him. It pitched her need for him sky high again, despite her earlier orgasms, and she pleaded with him in between kisses.
"Please, please…"
He pulled away and with a wicked grin bent down to lick the sticky evidence of Silas's cum of her breasts. Silas joined him on the other side, and the dual sensations sent her clit and pussy into overdrive. There was something so dirty and yet terribly arousing in the act, and when both men bit down on one erect nipple each, another orgasm ripped through her.
This shifter romance is a thrilling and erotic struggle for happiness that keeps the reader shivering in suspense. When bloodlines are expected to stay pure, Maria's mating to a wolf and a human could be the death of them all.
This fast-paced and smooth-flowing plot keeps readers on their toes with action, suspense, drama and romance. The author brings the story to life with well-written scenes and details that paint vivid images and capture the imagination and the well-orchestrated action and suspense sense are exciting, believable and draw the reader deeper into the story. The characters are strong, compelling, easily related to and grab the reader's attention from the very beginning and spine tingling tension builds throughout the story as Maria struggles to find away to get out of mating with a council member who makes her skin crawl and also to keep her two mates safe.
The attraction between Maria and her two mates radiates lots of heat from every page and the frequent sex scenes including m/f/m, m/m/f, m/m scenes scorch the reader with a fiery inferno of passion. The mating however is no way assured and provides lots of drama and fireworks that spice this story up even more. The reader can't help but get caught up in the drama and the escalating danger as some of the original council members take things a little--okay, a lot--too far.

I enjoyed finally getting to read Maria's story. This story had so much suspense packed into it. It was a really good story and a very emotional one too.

My first Doris O'Connor - and not my last
Written by Hannah on 14th Apr 2014
Wow. This book was hot, delightful and super well written. I loved this book, from start to finish. A couple of places I was a little lost, but I think that might be because I didn't read the first two books? Maybe? Anyway, no matter it wasn't enough to cause me issues.
Loved this book. My first by this author and not my last.

When bloodlines are expected to stay pure, Maria's mating to a wolf and a human could be the death of them all.\r\n\r\nThis fast-paced and smooth-flowing plot keeps readers on their toes with action, suspense, drama and romance. The author brings the story to life with well-written scenes and details that paint vivid images and capture the imagination and the well-orchestrated action and suspense sense are exciting, believable and draw the reader deeper into the story. The characters are strong, compelling, easily related to and grab the reader's attention from the very beginning and spine tingling tension builds throughout the story as Maria struggles to find away to get out of mating with a council member who makes her skin crawl and also to keep her two mates safe.\r\n\r\nThe attraction between Maria and her two mates radiates lots of heat from every page and the frequent sex scenes including m\u002ff\u002fm, m\u002fm\u002ff, m\u002fm scenes scorch the reader with a fiery inferno of passion. The mating however is no way assured and provides lots of drama and fireworks that spice this story up even more. The reader can't help but get caught up in the drama and the escalating danger as some of the original council members take things a little--okay, a lot--too far.\r\n\r\nSome surprises along the way keeps readers guessing and the intriguing concept and characters ensure they want to know more. While the story is short, it is an exciting romance full of passion that captures the heart and has the reader falling for two very sexy and dominant alpha men.","date":"15th Jul 2014"},{"name":"Angie","rating":"4","title":"Wow!","text":"I enjoyed finally getting to read Maria's story.
