out of their lives that this would all be done and over with. Then Tegan slid a hand around her waist, his chin finding the crook of her neck and Lennox felt him relax against her. Calm. “Maybe another time,” he said softly.
    Aibileen took the hint and left, hips swaying as she headed back for her table. Kanon turned on her, a teasing smile slipping over his face as he reached a hand out to cup Lennox by the jaw. “I thought you said something about dogs and bones...”
    “No, it was something about how she wasn’t a bone,” Tegan supplied. The corners of his lips twitched. “Didn’t appreciate being fought over...”
    Great. She was never going to live that one down. “I didn’t...”
    Kanon stopped her with a soft kiss, his hands finding her hips as Tegan traced small circles against her belly, his lips trailing kisses down the back of her neck and along her shoulder.
    “Of course not. Now, you have three testimonies telling you I’m innocent.”
    “You’re officially off duty.”
    Kanon took her beer and set it aside, only to turn back with one hand extended for each of them. “So, shall we dance?”
    She should have said no.
    But they were off the hook and tomorrow no one would have to know.
    Lennox let her tongue trail a quick, wet line over her lips. She nodded and let the pair of them lead her out onto the dance floor. After all, what could a few dances hurt?

    ***

    She didn’t remember what time they’d gotten in, only Tristan’s low laugh as he’d handed one of the boys a key, promising them the rental was empty and that it was cheaper than a motel because he didn’t charge friends. After that, there’d been nothing but a stumble down the sidewalk and a large puppy pile on the bed.
    Lennox rubbed at her eyes, the rest of her body tightly wrapped between two sleeping, happy men. Her breath hitched for a second. She hadn’t. There was no way. She’d never... Lennox stared down at Tegan and Kanon, both cuddled up to her as they cradled her between them. The only thing even remotely good about the situation was that she was still clothed.
    That they were all still clothed.
    Lennox blew out a breath. The chances of them all getting naked, screwing around, then all climbing back into their clothes before bed…yeah, she was safe. The knowledge did wonders for her sanity. She hadn’t actually slept with her job, just next to him.
    Shit. She needed an inhaler.
    Her chest gave a painful squeeze and Lennox wriggled her way out from between them. She was going to need one heck of a shower before she headed back to Enforcement. If the other Hounds scented lion on her skin... Lennox shook her head. Her credibility would be shot, her reputation, poof, up in smoke.
    She could lose her job over this.
    Breathe. She’d just call Bree, let her boss have the PG-13 rundown of everything—that Kanon was cleared and Lennox would be in later after she was back in the state. All further mentions of lions she could just disregard. After she took those showers. Lennox dug her phone out of her back pocket and flipped open her Contacts just as a knock sounded on the front door, firm. Demanding.
    Both lions stirred on the bed. Tegan stretched out, arms lifting above his head, so that his shirt rode up revealing the flat of his stomach, muscles clenched. Kanon buried his head under a pillow and groaned.
    The knock sounded again.
    “Ugh,” Kanon muttered and chucked the pillow off the bed.
    “Don’t worry, I’ll get it,” Lennox muttered and stuffed her phone back in her pocket.
    Peeking through the peep hole she caught a glimpse of an angular face, dark brown eyes, rust red hair and her nose caught the very distinct scent of dog. Shifter. And not just any dog. Rhodesian ridgeback.
    The hair on the back of her neck stood on end. Shit. A Hound? And not just any Hound but a ridgeback. And oh God , she smelled like lions. Like she’d been groped and cuddled and nearly-fucked all night long. By lions. Rhodesians were
