That’s—it’s so cool!” She smiled up at Mac. “Can you do that, too?”
“Yes.” He nodded, though he didn’t smile as Gareth changed back, his form becoming fully human. “Though, I cannot shift all the way back like Gareth can.” He reached back and grabbed his tail. “I have a permanent injury that keeps me from losing this. I will always have the tail not matter how many times I shift. Does it disgust you?”
Mac’s face shifted to his full human form and Jessi could do little more than gape at the man. Though she could tell the two were handsome beneath the masks she’d thought they wore, she hadn’t been prepared for the true beauty of the two men. Both had strong square jaws. Mac’s nose looked a little flatter, more like a tiger’s nose. It might have had something to do with the injury that kept him from ridding himself of the beautifully soft tail that he brushed against her arm. Reaching out, she grasped it.
Mac’s entire body jerked with the contact and he groaned. She dropped it immediately.
“Did I hurt you?”
“No.” he shook his head with a laugh. “Actually, our tails are an erogenous zone. A lot of males will make love while partially shifted to bring those zones into play during lovemaking. Will that turn you off?”
“Turn me off?” she asked with a snort. Reaching down, she grasped it again, and gently stroked the soft fur. “Hell, that turns me on more than you could possibly believe.”
Mac closed his eyes and groaned again. “I like that you like it.” He glanced at Gareth who had just pulled his jeans up over his hips and was currently tucking his impressive package beneath the thick denim. “He’ll like it, too.”
Jessi shifted her gaze to Gareth. “Does it hurt to do that?” She wanted to know everything. Ever since she’d read her first paranormal novel, she’d wished there were shape shifters in the world. Real shape shifters, and not the people who pretended to be, or who thought they were shifters.
“No. It doesn’t hurt.” He smiled. “Actually, it kind of tingles.”
“After we mate will I be a tiger shifter, too?” She wanted to know what to expect. She wasn’t sure she wanted to be a shifter, but like Mac said, the bond between them grew with each passing moment. “It’s not a deal breaker either way.” She tilted her head and smiled. “I mean, I’m not sure I like the idea of becoming a shape shifter.” She wrinkled her nose. “I can’t imagine a fat tiger is all that attractive.”
Gareth moved so fast, he was nothing but a blur. One second he was a good twelve feet away, standing in front of the window and the next, he had his body pressed tight against hers, his hand cupping her cheek.
“You’re perfect. Do you hear me?” He practically growled the words.
Mac moved in behind her, his hard body pressed against her rear. “We love you just the way you are. And make no mistake, Jessi. As impossible as it might seem, I already love you. I can only imagine that Gareth feels the same.”
“I do.” Gareth leaned forward and pressed soft kisses against her forehead, eyes and cheeks before covering her lips with his.
Jessi relaxed into the embrace, reveling in the feel of their hard bodies pushed so tight against hers. She felt their impressive erections through their clothes and wished that she didn’t have that first date rule.
As much as she didn’t want to abide by it, she knew that she couldn’t abandon it. To do so would leave her in a bad, bad place if they decided this mate thing couldn’t work. After having a one-night-stand with these two men, she might revert back to her old slutty habits if she didn’t stick to her guns right now, when it counted.
Gareth pulled back, sucking her bottom lip as he did so. Jessi groaned as he ended their kiss. It was probably a good thing he did so. She’d kissed him twice already while Mac was left to watch.
