Madison looked over her shoulder as the back door slammed shut.
“ Madison. Dante.” Tom addressed them politely, but Madison could see the anger radiating off of him.
“Wolf,” Dante greeted, using the respectful name for a shifter.
“Tom!” Madison moved away from Dante, but she knew he’d seen the other man’s hands on her.
“I stopped by to check on the tracks in the woods like I told you I would.” Tom spoke without raising his voice, but his eyes flashed.
Madison found herself standing between the two men.
“Umm…did you see anything?”
Tom never took his eyes from her, and Madison shifted uneasily.
“Someone was there. I don’t know who it was. The scent was gone, but it looked like they were watching the cabin.”
Madison ’s breath caught in surprise. Who would watch her?
“Is she in danger?” Dante asked the question Madison didn’t want to.
Running his gaze over her one last time, Tom looked over to the other man. “With the break in at the store, I’m concerned.”
Dante nodded as if something passed between the two that they understood but she didn’t.
“You think someone is watching me, and they broke into my store?” Madison had to have him clarify.
She watched Tom’s features soften. “I’m concerned, that’s all. I don’t want you staying here alone.”
Madison blinked at him then looked around her home. Her home where she had moved after the accident that had burned half of her grandparents’ house. This place was her haven.
“I’m sure I’ll be safe here,” she said out loud but even she heard the doubt in her voice.
“Your back door was unlocked,” Tom pointed out.
“I left in a hurry,” she excused herself.
“That’s no reason not to lock your house, Madison.”
She frowned at him and looked over at Dante, who was still silent. He caught her eye and shook his head.
“He’s right. You shouldn’t stay alone.”
Madison wrinkled her nose at him, pissed he hadn’t taken her side. “I’m a big girl and I can take care of myself.” She finished the statement by crossing her arms over her chest.
Tom laughed. “I would normally agree with you, but until I know for sure, I’m staying here…with you.”
Madison looked at Dante, who smiled. “I don’t think that will be necessary. I’ll stay with Madison.”
Both men looked at her.
Chapter Three
Madison looked between them before backing away. “No really. I don’t need anyone to stay with me.”
Neither made a move to leave.
“I’m serious. I have Taz and Belle. I’ll be fine.”
Hearing their names, both dogs’ ears perked up.
Dante took a step towards her but stopped when Tom growled. Dante raised his eyes over to the wolf and shrugged before looking back at her.
“You need to decide, Madison, because one of us is staying,” Dante told her, his voice soft and caressing.
“I…” Madison shifted her gaze from one to the other. She had told the truth. She didn’t play games. If she could have, she would have already. “I’m sorry. I can’t.”
“ Madison.” Tom’s voice echoed through the cabin.
Tears pricked the back of her eyes, but she refused to cry. Her heart broke, and she felt like her soul was being torn in two. “I’m sorry, I can’t. Now I have had a very hard day and really need a shower. I’m sure you two can show yourselves out.”
Madison walked towards the hall.
“Oh, and lock up when you go.” She threw over her shoulder at Tom.
Once in the bathroom, Madison leaned against the closed door and took a deep breath. Being around both men had been a wake up call for Madison. She couldn’t keep lying to herself and them. She wanted each of them, for different reasons, and had been stringing them along.
Madison moved from the door and looked at herself in the mirror. She had been waiting for one of them to make the decision for her. For one of them to take advantage and choose for her. They hadn’t. They’d only demanded that she pick one over the other. As much as she wanted to, it wasn’t possible. Giving up on it for the night, Madison started the shower and undressed.
Once inside, she let the pounding spray relax her tight muscles. It hadn’t been fun cleaning up the store. Someone had done a lot of damage. That was what she should be thinking about. Who would break into the store and cause that destruction? She couldn’t think of anyone in town who would do such a thing.
Neither she nor Angie had made enemies that she knew of. Nothing of value in the store had been taken. And why would anyone want to watch her cabin? That thought scared her more than she would have admitted. In all honestly, she didn’t want to stay alone but what could she do?
Madison searched her mind as she washed the shampoo from her hair. Not being able to come up with anything on that subject, her mind drifted back to Dante and Tom.
She wondered if Tom hadn’t shown up would she have given herself to Dante? The answer was yes. But what if it had been Tom waiting on her to return home? Would she have given herself to him? Yes again.
Madison felt so conflicted with her feelings for them. Picking up the bar of soap, she washed her body. Her breasts felt heavy and full as she washed them. When she took her hand lower, she brushed against her swollen pussy. It had been throbbing since she laid eyes on Dante. With Tom in the room with them she could feel the wetness between her legs pool inside her panties. God, she wanted them.
As her finger dipped inside her centre, she thought about them. About what kind of lovers they would be. Madison added a second as she rocked her hips. It didn’t matter which one she imagined inside her, either man, as long as it was one of them. She lifted her leg to the shower wall and added a third finger. She cried out in pleasure as her release came, swiftly shaking her body.
The bathroom door swung open and slammed against the wall before she even had time to drop her leg or remove her fingers. The glass door hid nothing.
Tom growled as he stalked towards her. Madison shrieked as he reached for the door. He swung it open with so much force she was afraid it might shatter. He turned off the water as he yanked her out of the shower.
“Hey!” Madison complained as he dragged her from the bathroom soaking wet.
In her bedroom, she saw Dante standing next to the bed.
“I thought you two left,” she said defiantly.
Dante nodded his head, not taking his eyes from her naked body. “That is quite apparent.”
Madison couldn’t cover herself with Tom still gripping her wrist so she glared at him. “Could you let me go so I can put something on?”
Tom didn’t answer but looked at Dante. The two men stared at each other for a long time before Dante finally nodded again.
Madison didn’t know what was happening, but it couldn’t be good. She tried to yank her arm from Tom, but he only tightened his grip as he turned to look at her.
“I can’t believe that you would rather pleasure yourself than allow one of us,” he told her, his voice turning huskier than usual.
Madison could feel a blush work up her neck to her face. It wasn’t like she had planned on getting caught. Tom lips quirked as if he knew what she was thinking. He stepped in front of her, and Madison let him fill her entire vision.
“Is that what it is? You would rather think about us than really be with us?” Tom continued.
“Or is it that you truly can’t choose one of us over the other?” Dante asked from directly behind her.
Madison jumped. She hadn’t heard him move. She looked over her shoulder and almost lost her breath. He was so handsome with his high cheekbones and dark eyes. Without realising it, she started to lean towards him..
But Tom started talking again.
“So which is it, Madison?” he asked, stepping closer until he was pressed against her front.
