“Ah, but you are not wed to her,” Janco interjected. “You did not complete the claiming. So, you will have a very young looking girlfriend for eternity.”

Keane reached for Hannah and she went to him, easing the sheet partially around him to cover his nudity, even though he didn’t seem the least bit concerned with it. “I cannot claim her fully. To do so might be your death, brother. As much as I want her, I will not cause you more pain.”

Hannah touched Keane’s chest and went to her tiptoes to kiss his cheek. “It’s okay. Explaining you to my friends and family wouldn’t go over well, either.”

His brow furrowed. “You think because I cannot claim you fully that I will allow you to walk out of my life?”

She nodded.

“My light, I cannot live without you. I feel...” He paused, seeming at a loss for the right words. “Great affection for you.”

Janco snorted. “You are in love with her, brother.”

Keane’s brows lifted and his lips pursed. “Yes. Love. We will find a way around the claiming. A way to make what we have official without harming Janco—at least until we can find out why he shares in this bond.”

She caressed his chest and snuggled against him, wanting to say she felt love and affection for him too, but she held back. “Maybe he needs a little
light
in his life too.”

Keane smiled but it didn’t reach his eyes. “Perhaps.”

“Hey, I could totally have a brother sandwich,” she joked, nudging Keane slightly, wanting the somber mood to lighten.

He grabbed her and held her tight to him. He snarled. “Never suggest lying with another man. Ever.”

Janco touched Keane’s arm. “Brother, she said it only in jest. She holds no love or attraction for me. She radiates it for you, as a mate should.”

The pain Janco was clearly in moved Hannah. She closed her eyes a moment and steeled her nerves. When she looked at Keane, she squared her shoulders. “Deep down, I feel like we already know how to fix this.”

Janco sighed. “Hannah, no.”

“What? He didn’t want to hang out in there and make love to me,” she said, venom dripping from her words. “That is it, isn’t it, Keane? I said love and you freaked and ran. So why not share me with your brother? You’re not ready for anything real with me. Let me help your brother.”

Keane’s jaw set.

Janco moved between them. “Brother, be calm.”

“She believes I do not wish for something real with her.”

“Do you?” Janco asked.

Keane narrowed his gaze on his brother. “I do.”

“I noticed your issue was with her thinking you don’t want her, not with her offering to help me.” Janco swayed slightly.

Keane stared at her for the longest time and then bent his head, kissing her gently. “You would do this willingly for my brother?”

“I would.”

“See, you are the flip side of the coin,” he responded, kissing her again.

H
annah sat in the bed, her gaze going to the brothers. Keane seemed more at ease with what they were about to do. It was Janco who actually appeared somewhat nervous. Hannah ran her hands over her sheet-covered thighs, unease trickling through her. She’d come to Keane’s bed a virgin, and already she was about to have a threesome. Preyca would never believe her if she told her of this. First she’d have to break the news she was the mate of a vampire—not just any vamp either, a super-powerful one, and then that she’d banged his brother too.

She will call her aunt to exorcise my “demons” for sure.

Hannah took a long, deep breath and raked her gaze over the men. Keane was first to approach her and her body tensed with need for him. She knew the feel of him inside her and wanted to feel it again.

From the corner of her eye she noticed Janco easing his shirt off. His skin was as pale as Keane’s. His body as chiseled. Her mouth practically watered with want. Damn them for being so sexy. Janco’s dark hair flopped partially over one of his obsidian eyes. He stared at her while Keane bent and pushed the sheet from her breasts, exposing them to the men.

Hannah gasped, her face reddening. The only thing that kept her going was the obvious amount of pain Janco was in. She didn’t understand what was happening. How could she? All she knew was Janco hurt and Keane cared greatly for him. Therefore, deep down, she did too.

That much she did get. And there was no denying the strange connection she felt to Janco.

Keane’s lips found hers, chasing away some of the nervous energy. As his tongue eased into her mouth, she moaned, lying back, the sheet pulling down more. She stopped caring. His body moved over hers, his kisses coming faster, heating her body more and more. His hands caressed her body and then suddenly more hands where there, accompanying them. She panted, trying to catch her breath between kisses. It was all so overwhelming. So exhilarating.

Janco crawled onto the bed, his clothing gone, his cock bobbing near her head. Keane broke their kiss and turned her head. “Taste him.”

She opened her mouth and Janco eased closer, his cock bumping her cheek to start with and then finding its way to her open, waiting mouth. She sucked on him and Keane lined up with her cunt, driving in, filling her fully. She moaned around Janco’s cock and he gasped, his hands going to her hair. He pumped in and out of her mouth, controlling the movements as she was pinned on her back, his brother deep in her pussy. Keane took one of her nipples into his mouth and the pleasure rushed through her stomach, centering on her womb. She felt so good, so wanted, so wanton and free.

There was the quickest of pricks near her nipple and she gasped, pulling off Janco’s cock a moment. Janco caressed her cheek, leading her lips back to his cock. “He is claiming you, my sweet. He draws blood from you and then he will say the words as he fills you with his seed.”

She didn’t panic. Strangely, she wanted everything Janco described. She wanted even more than that. She kissed the tip of his dick. “What about you? Will you claim me too?”

Keane released his bite on her breast, his cock still deep in her. “Hannah, I claim thee as my mate, to walk beside me for eternity.” He pushed in deep, coming hard inside her. Her body orgasmed and she cried out, taking hold of Janco’s cock and stroking it as she did.

Magic flared around them as did a wind that seemed to pull at her gut. The power yanked at her and then she felt it slamming into Keane first, then Janco. Both men jerked. Keane pulled free from her and lifted her, holding her in his arms, as if trying to protect her from the force of what was happening around them.

Janco grabbed at her hips and she sensed his desperation, his raw need of her. She didn’t fight him as he pulled at her, forcing her to hands and knees, her cheek pressed to Keane’s chest, her ass in the air.

Janco didn’t bother with preparing her body. He rammed his long, hard cock into her pussy and began pounding into her with animal lust. Her jaw dropped and she put a hand on Keane’s chest, her gaze meeting his. “He... needs to claim me... too.”

“I know,” whispered Keane, sitting before her, putting his legs to both sides of her. His sated cock was right there before her. She dipped her head and took all of him, including his ball sac, into her mouth. His cock began to lengthen quickly, forcing her to take less of it. Janco continued to pound into her from behind.

Keane held the sides of her head. “Brother, bite her and say the words.”

“K-Keane?” Janco asked, seeming to strain behind her.

“Do it!” Keane demanded.

Janco leaned his body over Hannah’s and she moved her hips, grinding against his cock. His front pressed to her back and she felt the sharpest of pinches on her shoulder. She knew he’d bitten her and that he was drinking her blood. It turned her on more. She sucked on Keane harder.

Janco roared and pulled his mouth from her shoulder. “Mine! Hannah, I claim thee as my mate, to walk beside me for eternity.”

The wind around them increased, as did the power. Hannah couldn’t take any more. Pleasure tore free from her as her orgasm gripped hold of her. Janco slammed into her, holding firm, releasing into her just as Keane’s cock twitched in her mouth. Hot, warm seed bathed her throat and she swallowed it down.

With a slow breath, she pulled off Keane’s cock and looked up at him. “Are we mated?”

He glanced at his brother and then back at her. “Yes. We are all bound to one another.”

Her brows met.

“You, my light,” he said, touching her lips, “have two husbands.”

She gasped.

They laughed.

One Month Later...

H
annah still wasn’t sure this was a good idea. She’d been against introducing Keane and Janco with their formal titles—her mates—to her slayer “family” from the start. She’d called Preyca and spoke with her in detail on the matter and let the initial shock settle in on her friend. After much yelling, threatening to bring in outside “aunt” intervention and then a lot of questions, Preyca seemed to come around. Though she had yet to meet the brothers under the knowledge of who and what they were.

Keane held Hannah’s left hand while Janco stood by her right side, his hand on her hip as Preyca approached. They’d decided to meet where it had all began for them—the cemetery. That had been Hannah’s choice and a way she could insert her quirky personality into the mix.

Keane and Janco still didn’t understand most of her modern slang sayings or her off-beat ways but they accepted her and treated her like a queen. One month ago she’d been a virgin. Now she was the prized possession of two sexy immortals. And she liked knowing she belonged to them. That they’d marked her, mating her to them for eternity. She understood now what the mating meant. They would never stray from her bed. They would never treat her wrong. They would die to protect her.

As any man should for his woman.

The only catch had been her calling. They saw it more as her putting herself in harm’s way. She saw as it as a way to keep her sanity. Without it she’d surely go mad. She had to hunt evil and put it in its place. It’s who she was. They were working the kinks out but allowing her to police her sector nightly. Though both came with her.

Men.

Janco rubbed her hip. “I see your friend.”

Hannah didn’t and had to wait until Preyca was closer. She smiled and stayed still, letting Preyca take in the sight of her with the two men. Preyca neared, shook her head, put one hand on a hip and said, “I’ve given this a whole lot of thought. Where do I sign up for a brother sandwich?”

Hannah smiled and raced into her friend’s arms. Everything would work out just fine. “I’ll see who they know and what I can come up with.”
