Adele, Claire - Guardian of His Love [Wolves of West Texas 3] (Siren Publishing Ménage and More) by Claire Adele Page A

to use every advantage we have. Jared could help us with his experience. If it’s all right with you, I think we should try an abbreviated sharing with Jared. We need to be prepared in case Rafe tries a sharing episode during the testing. I don’t want you to be surprised and upset by it if he should try it on you and you’ve never experienced sharing before.”
    “I trust you, Derek, and I’ll go along with whatever you think we should do.”
    “Why don’t you enjoy a little soak in the tub while I wait for Jared?”
    “That would be wonderful. I’ll see you afterward.”
    “Sounds good.” Derek rolled off his side of the bed as Kelly slid off her side. He couldn’t resist a quick kiss before leaving. She returned his kiss, tangling her silky tongue with his. He forced himself to pull away. “Until later, hon.”
    She smiled at him and headed for the bathroom. Derek admired her slender form before she closed the door. He slipped on his clothing and left the bedroom to wait in the kitchen for Jared, since it was the guy’s favorite place to hang out.
    Jared arrived soon, and Derek brought up his concerns for Kelly, explaining the situation and the testing ceremony while Jared put together a great meal for the three of them.
    Jared glanced up at Derek, breaking his concentration from sautéing mushrooms in the frying pan on the range. “You’ve prepared well for this testing ceremony by going through the chapter on the most intense sexual stimulation. It wouldn’t hurt to be ready for a sharing episode if that jerk, Rafe, decides to try it on her. She’ll handle it better if she’s experienced something like it beforehand. If she’s not ready for it, her own tension and worry could make things worse for her. I know you want the test to go as easy for her as possible. If you need me to help, I’m willing if she is. We can make it go smoothly for her so she won’t be nervous.”
    Derek munched on a breadstick. “I’ll take the front and have intercourse with her. You can stand behind her and pleasure her. She’s not ready for anal sex, so that’s out of the question.”
    “No problem. There are plenty of ways to increase her pleasure and sexual tension without anal sex involved. It could also work well with me in front and you taking her pussy from behind. The stimulation of her pussy can be more intense from that position. The important thing is to bring her to an amazing climax and keep Rafe from claiming her in marriage. Do you plan to marry her?”
    Jared’s question surprised Derek. He met his questioning gaze. “I care for her more than any woman I’ve known. It’s probably too soon to think about marriage, though.”
    “Protect your heart, bud. Talk to her. Find out how she feels about you. If you win the testing, her family will probably expect you to marry her. How does she feel about that? Does she want to be married to you?”
    “I don’t know. We haven’t gotten that far,” Derek said.
    “What if you feel the same way about each other and you don’t know it?” Jared asked.
    “What if she cares enough about me to want to marry me, and Rafe wins? God, I couldn’t handle that. I can’t let Rafe win.”
    “Sounds to me like you love her. Communication is really important to a close relationship. Talk to her before it’s too late.”
    Jared looked toward the doorway to the main living area as Kelly walked into the kitchen.
    “Were you guys talking about me?” she asked, her smile radiant.
    “Of course we were talking about you.” Derek grinned at her and pulled out a barstool for her at the island. “Guys are always talking about beautiful women.”
    “Ha,” she said, shaking her head. “It goes both ways.” She gave Derek an impish grin.
    He indicated the meal Jared had prepared. “Does this smell delish, or what?”
    She nodded in agreement and met Jared’s gaze. “It looks and smells fantastic. I’m starving.”
    Jared turned to a cabinet and took out several
