into her eyes. “We both love you so damn much.”
    “I love the both of you, too.” She never knew such feelings could exist until they came into her life.
    They began their slow movements in tandem and she felt sensations ricochet through her. When Alex withdrew Dominic plunged in and they built a rhythm where she was pinned between them unable to move but was experiencing everything. Their guttural cries matched hers until the intensity they had built overflowed. Tempest was sent catapulting into a breathtaking orgasm. She felt Dominic’s release shake through his body and then Alex followed with a harsh cry. They filled her with their hot seed before they all collapsed in a pile of contented, relaxed bodies.
    “We should get up,” Dominic mumbled after several minutes. “We’ve got work to do.”
    “I want to nap,” Tempest murmured and yawned.
    “You nap, darling. We’ll go out in a few minutes.” Alex yawned.
    A few minutes turned into an hour and a half nap before they went back outside. That night, she watched as RV after RV came through the newly hung gates and took the curved path to where they would be staying. Alex and Dominic were out there in the darkness directing everyone where to go. She wondered how the Acadia pack could stand living in RVs in cramped quarters, and wondered why Vernon didn’t direct them to build homes on the pack lands to give them some kind of comfortable life. He was the only one who had a little home—the one the previous Alpha, Jack, had lived in.
    Was he that cruel? Did it keep them under his thumb or did he just not care? Her first impression of him that first time she went to Acadia was that he didn’t trust her guys, but he otherwise seemed okay. But now after what Alex and Dominic had told her, she wasn’t so sure. The last RV that came through the gates was huge and she assumed it was Vernon’s. Behind it, a small vehicle followed and broke away from the caravan and came up the driveway to the house. She furrowed her brows, wondering who could possibly be coming up to the house. Her guys never told her that anyone would be staying in the house. The car stopped and she held her hands up to her eyes against the glare of the headlights. She didn’t know it was Vernon until he was standing two steps down from her and she immediately stepped back.
    “Hello, Tempest,” he said casually and came up on the porch. He wiped his hands down his blue jean shirt and tucked it into his pants.
    “Hi, um…Vernon. What are you doing up here? Alex and Dominic are down there helping set up,” she replied.
    “Are they?” He leaned casually against the fence. “I was coming up here to personally thank them for letting us intrude.” Vernon gave a slow smile that made her very uncomfortable. “I guess I’ll have to thank you instead. I can certainly do that any way you want.”
    Oh, yuck. She hid her grimace behind a forced smile. “You don’t have to thank me in the least. We’re glad to help.”
    “Tell me, do you really like being shared like a bone?” Vernon asked. “You should choose a mate worthy of you, one that can stand alone.”
    “Whom I choose is none of your business. They are both mine.” Tempest raised her head defiantly. “Don’t presume to know what you don’t understand.”
    “Hmm, seems to me you’re protesting a bit much,” Vernon said. “I can smell them on you, smell the sex. Makes me hard just thinking about you taking on both of them. The things we could do to each other.”
    She heard the sound of running on the white gravel that Dominic had used for landscaping the garden area in front of the house. She was relieved when she saw Dominic and Alex round the corner and assess Vernon with wary eyes.
    “I thought you’d be with the rest of your pack,” Alex said slowly.
    Vernon laughed. “Sorry, boys. I thought you two were up here and I wanted to say thanks again. I found the lovely Tempest and stopped for a chat.”
    Dominic stepped
