Kai Cook and Easton Wright have always been the closest
friends. Their the best hunters in the pack, and it’s probably
because they always seem to know what the other is
thinking. They’re out hunting when they scent her. Their
mate. They’re confused at first. No one has ever heard of
shifters mating with the same girl before but their wolves
are positive that she’s meant for them.

I chase after Easton and my mate. I want to argue with Easton, but
I’m more worried about getting my mate somewhere warm. Our
cabin isn’t far from here and we should be there in a few minutes.
We’ll get her warmed up and then we’ll figure out what the heck is
going on. My wolf howls inside me, wanting to rub up against our
mate and coat ourselves in her scent.
It’s strange, but I’m not that threatened that Easton thinks my
mate is his. Normally, shifters are very territorial about their fated
ones, and they would have torn out anyone’s throat who threatened
to take or hurt their mate. When Easton said that she was his, I
didn’t feel threatened, just confused. When Easton said that she was
his, I expected my wolf to take over, to attack him but instead, he
hadn’t even bared his teeth. Sure, he had pushed forward but he
was more focused on claiming our mate than on fighting Easton.
Our mate?
I push that thought away as I follow Easton into the house and
back into his bedroom. We had flipped on it when we first moved in,
and he won the master bedroom. I watch as he lays her down on
the bed and I set her duffle bag down next to the dresser before I
head to get her some more blankets from my room. I slip on a pair
of pajama pants so that she doesn’t wake up to two naked men
standing over her before I rush back into the bedroom and wait as
Easton pulls off our mate's shoes and jacket before I grab the first
blanket and toss it over her.
We work together to cover her, but once we’re done, I can still
see her shivering and her lips still have a blue hue to them. Easton
steps away and tugs on his own pajama pants before he steps closer
to the bed. I look back to Easton to see him biting his lip as he
stares down at the girl.
“We need to get in bed with her to warm her up,” he says, and I
watch as he pulls back the blankets and slips in on one side of her.
I wait for my wolf to object to seeing Easton pressed up against
my mate, but there’s nothing. He just wants me to get into bed too.
I frown as I slip in on her other side. I cuddle up to her, my shifter
body giving off enough heat that she should be warm enough soon.
Easton wraps his arm around her waist as we sandwich her between
us. I watch him, trying to read what he’s thinking, how he feels
about all of this.
He looks up, his eyes meeting mine, and I can see that he’s just
as confused about all of this as I am. I also notice that he doesn’t
seem that threatened or upset about me claiming she’s my mate
too. My wolf actually seems to be alright that we both mated with
this girl and if I’m being honest, I’m warming to the idea too.
“We should talk to Slate,” Easton whispers, shifting closer to our
mate.
I nod my head, figuring that if anyone knows what is happening
here, it would be the Alpha. I roll over, grabbing my cellphone off
the nightstand and hitting the Alpha’s number. It’s getting late, and
when Slate finally does answer the phone, it sounds like we woke
him.
“Easton?”
“Hey, Slate. It’s Kai. Something’s happened.”
“Are you both okay?” He asks, and I can hear the worry in his
voice then.
I look up when Easton nudges me, and I nod as I put the phone
on speaker so he can hear too.
“We found our mate.”
“What? That’s great, man! Congratulations! We’ll have to wait for
the snow to stop before Grier and I come out and meet her.”
“No, I mean, WE found our mate. As in, it’s the same girl,”
Easton corrects him.
Silence greets that statement, and I can tell that we’ve shocked
him.
“Have you ever heard of this happening before?” I ask him.
“No, I haven’t. Are you sure? You’re positive you’re both meant
for her?”
“I mean, I’ve never been mated before, but my wolf and Easton’s
both seemed to think that she was meant for us.”
“Yeah, as soon as her scent hit us, we both just took off for her.
My wolf was going crazy, kept saying mate and pushing me to go
faster to get to her,” I nod even though Slate can’t see me.
“That’s how it was for me too.”
Slate is quiet for a while, and I watch our girl as she sleeps. She
still looks pale but her lips are turning back to normal. She really is
beautiful, with delicate features and small curves. Easton reaches up
and brushes some of her black hair off her forehead as I hold the
phone between us and wait for Slate to say something.
“I’ve never heard of it before, but if your wolves think she’s both
of yours, then maybe she is. You two have always been close.
Maybe this is why your connection was always so strong. If you
weren’t meant to share her, then I’d think one of you would have
killed the other by now. I mean, I would kill anyone who tried to
touch Grier. Do you guys feel that way?”
“No,” Easton and I answer immediately.
“Then I say that you try to share her. Try to both mark her and
claim her and see how everyone feels then.”
I look up and see Easton nodding, and I’m so happy that he’s still
on the same page as me. Excitement courses through me as I think
about sharing this beautiful girl with my best friend. I’ve never
considered that before but it seems right now that we have our mate
here. I can see the twinkle of excitement in Easton’s eye and my
wolf settles inside me as we both agree to try to share her.
Now, we just need her to wake up so that we can try to explain
all of this to her.
Chapter Four

Raven insists on helping with the dishes, and Easton and I both
growl as we hover over her. She washes while I dry and Easton puts
everything away and soon we’re finished. Easton and I are both
lingering in the kitchen, waiting to see what she’ll do next. We want
to spend as much time as possible with our mate and I know that
we’re both thinking about when and how to tell her what we are.
“Do you mind if I stretch and take a shower? I think I was sitting
for too long,” she says as she rolls her shoulders back.
“Go ahead, honey. Make yourself at home,” I tell her, and she
smiles at us before she heads back down the hallway.
Easton and I follow her, loitering in the hallway as she digs some
mat out from the bottom of her duffle and spreads it out on the
bedroom floor. I grab a broom out of the hall closet and pretend to
sweep as I watch Raven take a couple deep breathes before she
folds forward at the waist. She bends down, touching her toes and
taking a couple of deep breaths. My mouth starts to water as I stare
at her ass, her tight yoga pants molding to her ass perfectly.
Easton moans next to me, and I can tell that he’s enjoying the
view too. Raven spreads her legs, folding forward again and looking
at us from between her spread legs. She giggles when she sees us
lingering in the hallway, pretending to clean while we just stare at
her. Easton and I both grin at the happy sound and she stands up to
face us, stretching out her arms and balancing on one leg.
“Do you guys do yoga?” she asks as she moves onto the other
side.
“No,” Easton says with a smile.
She grins back before she gets down on her hands and knees,
curving her back up and down and moaning as the muscles stretch.
Easton and I both moan with her as we watch her move through her
poses. I picture kneeling behind her, rutting into her while Easton
sucks on her little tits, his hand rubbing between her legs as I pump
into her. I want to run my hands down her back and grip her hips as
I pound into her. I want to look down at her as I claim her and see
our marks on her, Easton’s, and mine.
I blink and see that Raven is done and is rolling up her mat,
setting it beside her bag on the dresser. My wolf rolls over on his
back, loving that her things are now mixed in with ours.
“I think I’ll take that shower now,” Raven says, digging some
clean clothes out of her bag.
“Ok, there’s some shampoo and stuff in there. Use whatever
you’d like,” Easton tells her, and she smiles before she disappears
into the bathroom.
We both hang around the bedroom, neither of us wanting to be
far from her. We discussed it last night, and I’ll be moving into this
room with them. All of my belongings are still next door and I’ll wait
until Raven has all of her things settled in before I move my stuff
over. I want to make sure that she has enough room for all of her
belongings.
“We need to tell her that we’re shifters,” Easton murmurs.
I nod, my eyes staying locked on the bathroom door. I can hear
Raven humming something as she showers, and it brings a smile to
my face. I look over to see Easton smiling too and we both stand
there listening as she hums whatever song is playing in that pretty
head of hers.
“What do you think she’s running from?” Easton asks me as the
water turns off.
“I don’t know, but we need to find out. We need to know what
we’re protecting her from.”
Easton nods, and then we pretend to be busy when we hear the
bathroom door start to open. She’s changed into a pair of tight black
leggings and an old rock band t-shirt. She smiles when she sees us
both still standing there and I walk over to her, taking her hand in
mine and leading her to the bed. I lift her up and then Easton and I
stand in front of her.
“We need to tell you something,” I start.
She looks between us curiously, and we each reach forward and
pick up one of her hands in each of ours.
“Have you ever heard of shifters?” Easton asks her.
“Um, no. What’s a shifter?”
“It’s a person who can change into an animal,” I say.
“We’re shifters,” Easton finishes.
We stare at Raven and watch as she looks between us, wide-
eyed.
“What kind of animal are you?” she asks after we’ve all been
staring at each other for a few minutes.
“Wolves,” Easton tells her.
“This whole town is shifters. Well, there’s a couple of humans
and one bear shifter, but the rest are wolf shifters.”
“Why do you let humans stay here? It seems like that would be
dangerous for you. If you’re trying to keep your existence a secret
anyway.”
“The humans are allowed to stay and know about us because
they’re mates,” I say, watching her face to check her reaction.
“Mates?” she asks, and I watch as a pink flush spreads across
her chest.
Her hand reaches up and rubs against her neck and shoulder,
and my wolf bares his teeth, wanting to mark her and claim her as
ours.
“Shifters have mates. It’s fated, and once a shifter finds his one,
there will never be another for them. You are our mate, Easton, and
mine, and we will love and protect you until the day we die,” I tell
her.
“Is that why I feel tingly?” she asks, and my wolf howls.
I grin at her, loving that she’s having such a reaction to us.
“Yes,” Easton says with a gentle smile.
“Once we bite you, it will be stronger. We’ll be more connected,”
I tell her, and I watch as her hand squeezes her neck again.
“Can I see you shift? Can I see your wolves?” she asks, looking
between the two of us.
We nod, both of us reluctantly dropping her hand so that we can
pull off our clothes and shift for her. She watches with wide eyes as
we strip naked before her, and then together, we start to shift. Our
teeth and fingernails grow as we lose our skin and fur grows in its
place.
Soon, we stand before her in our wolf forms, and Raven looks
between us with her mouth hanging open. She looks back and forth
a couple of times before a frown line forms between her eyebrows.
“You were there last night. Before I passed out. I remember two
wolves standing there, and it was you, right?” she asks as she
reaches out to pet us.
Our wolves practically purr as we brush up against her, nodding
our heads to answer her question. We sit before her, letting her run
her fingers through our fur. I look at Easton and see that he and his
wolf are just as content at this moment.
Now, we just need to convince her to stay with us.
Chapter Seven
R aven
My body lights up when they both start to strip, and I try to avert
my eyes to give them some privacy but they don’t seem to be trying
to be discreet. Both of their bodies are gorgeous. It looks like they’re
carved from marble and I want to reach out and run my fingers over
all the dips, ridges and muscles. Working in gyms, I’ve seen a lot of
toned bodies but I have to say that Kai and Easton are by far the
best that I’ve seen.
All of my girly parts light up when they stand before me
completely naked, and I watch in amazement as they slowly start to
shift. In no time at all, they’re standing before me, not as the
ridiculously hot guys I was just ogling, but as two giant wolves. A
memory from last night niggles at my brain and I remember the
wolves in the woods before I passed out.
“You were there last night. Before I passed out. I remember two
wolves standing there, and it was you, right?” I ask as I reach out to
touch them.
They nod, stepping closer to me and rubbing their soft fur
against my legs. They sit before me, letting me continue to run my
hands through their fur as they rest their heads against my legs.
Their wolves are both beautiful with thick dark fur. They’re tall and
big all over, and I wonder if they’re the same size as a regular wolf. I
kind of doubt it. I can’t imagine any animal being this big. They start
to shift back and soon they’re standing before me naked again.
“We’ve told you our secret. Now, it’s time that you tell us what
you’re running from. We can’t keep you safe if we don’t know what
the threat is,” Kai says to me as he eases his hip onto the bed,
taking a seat next to me.
Easton does the same on the other side, and they watch as I
wring my hands in my lap and takes a deep breath. I let it out
slowly, deciding to trust them.
“There was this guy back in Seattle. He came to some of my
yoga classes, and he was always asking me out.”
I startle when both men growl and their arms tense around my
shoulders. I clear my throat, rushing to finish the story.
“I always turned him down, but then he started showing up
everywhere that I went. I tried to file a restraining order against him
but the police didn’t take it seriously. I came home two days ago to
find him in my bedroom and I just couldn’t take it anymore. I
haven’t felt safe there in so long but that was the last straw. I
packed my car and took off. I was trying to hide last night. I didn’t
even want to stop but I was just so tired,” I say and I can feel the
tears on my cheeks.
I hastily brush the tears away as Easton and Kai both sandwich
me between them. They rub my back, murmuring comforting words
in my ears as they wrap their bodies around me. Finally, FINALLY, I
feel safe, and I want to sink into them and never leave.
“We will protect you,” Easton assures me, and Kai nods on my
other side.
“You will never be safer than when you’re with us,” Kai says.
“You’re our mate, Raven, and we’ll never let anyone or anything
hurt you,” Easton promises.
Doubt forms in my gut. These men make me feel things that I’ve
never felt in my life, but I have no experience with men and I doubt
that I could handle one guy, let alone two. Two shifters at that!
“I’m not sure that I want to get rid of one guy by jumping into
bed with two new ones,” I say quietly.
“It’s not like that,” Kai objects.
“How can I trust that?” I ask.
“We’ll prove it to you. We don’t want to smother you, Raven. As
your mates, we would never do anything to hurt you. We just want
to keep you safe. Give us some time and let us prove it to you,”
Easton begs.
I look between the two of them, noting the sincerity on their
faces. I don’t really think that they would hurt me or try to stalk me
like Brock did, but I’m still a little skittish.
“What do you say, Raven? Let us prove how good we’ll be to
you,” Kai says, as he leans into me further.
I look up into their eyes and feel myself melt. I can give them a
few days, I decide.
“Okay,” I nod, “you have two days.”
If I don’t fall in love with them before the two days are up, at
least I’ll have had a couple of days to lay low without worrying about
Brock finding me.
Chapter Eight
E aston
My wolf whines, wanting to sink our teeth into her skin and mark her
as ours, but I hold him back. We need to show her that we can be
good mates, that we’re not going to try to force her into anything
like that asshole who was stalking her. If we can prove to her that
she will always be the most precious and important thing to us, then
she’ll stay here and we’ll have her for the rest of our lives.
“What would you like to do today?” Kai asks her.
“We can show you around town,” I offer.
The snow stopped coming down early this morning, but it’s still
freezing cold out and I’m worried about her being outside today
after she spent so much time out in the cold last night. At least if we
went into town, we could pop into the warm shops.
“No! I don’t want to go anywhere,” Raven says, her eyes filled
with fear and unease.
I know that she’s still scared of that guy, worried that he’ll find
her and my wolf growls. He doesn’t like that our mate is afraid, and
he wants to hunt down the threat and kill it. I look over to Kai and
see him gritting his teeth. I’m sure his wolf feels the same as mine.
“We will protect you,” Kai tells her gently, and I nod.
“You never have to be afraid again,” I promise her.
“I still… I’d rather just stay here today. If that’s alright?”
“Of course, anything that you want, Raven,” I tell her, tucking her
into my side.
Kai meets my eyes over her head, and we share a look, vowing
to each other to keep our mate safe. No matter what.
“Why don’t we get dressed and then we can play cards or
something and get to know each other a little better,” I suggest.
“Okay,” she says, and Kai and I watch as she slides off the bed
and heads down the hallway.
I walk to my dresser, tugging on a pair of sweatpants and a long
sleeve shirt and I see Kai head to his old room to do the same. We
spend the rest of the day at the kitchen table, playing cards and
board games, talking and laughing with each other. My wolf curls up
inside of me, rolling onto his back and smiling every time our mate
lets her walls down a little more with us, every time that she laughs
and smiles at one of us.
My whole body has felt like it’s on fire all day, the need to claim
my mate pressing down on me. I can see Raven’s body reacting to
us too. Her face is flushed, and her nipples are stiff peaks poking
against her thin shirt. She keeps crossing and uncrossing her legs
and I’ve seen her checking both Kai and me out throughout the day.
I can tell that she wants us, and Kai and I both definitely want her.
We ate sandwiches and soup for lunch but Kai and I want to take
care of our mate and spoil her so we planned a romantic dinner. We
set Raven up on the couch in front of the fireplace with a book while
Kai and I worked in the kitchen. We both keep looking up to check
on her, smiling every time we see her curled up in our home. I can
feel peace and contentment coming off of Kai in waves and it makes
me feel more comfortable.
I had always dreamed about what it would be like when I finally
found my mate, and while Kai being her mate too never crossed my
mind, I’m glad that the rest is how I pictured it. It feels like my life
finally has a purpose. I will protect and care for Raven until I die and
I know that Kai feels the same.
We finish up with dinner, this Italian chicken dish that’s one of
our favorites, and I head into the living room, carrying our mate into
the kitchen and over to the table. I set her in the same chair as this
morning and Kai sets the food on the table. We each take a seat on
either side of her, same as this morning and I wait for Raven to take
the first bite before I pick up my fork and dig in.
Raven praises our cooking, and Kai and I both perk up, loving her
praise. Our wolves howl, pleased that we made our mate happy. We
eat and talk and I’m glad that the same connection that we formed
this afternoon is still there. Raven is comfortable around us, more
open and it makes my wolf relax inside of me.
We finish dinner, and just like this morning, Raven helps us clean
up and I see her yawn. My eyes meet Kai’s and he wraps his arm
around her waist.
“We’ll finish up the dishes. You need to get some rest,” he says
as we lead her back to the bedroom.
“I’m fine,” she insists, but I can see her eyes droop.
“You had a couple of long days, and I’m sure you weren’t
sleeping great since the whole stalker thing happened. You need to
catch up. Let us take care of you, Raven,” I tell her as I lift her into
our bed.
I’m lucky that I got such a big bed or the three of us wouldn’t be
able to fit on it together. Kai and I tuck her in, making sure she’s
settled before we kiss her on the forehead and head back to the
kitchen. We finish cleaning up and then lean against the counter,
both of us staring longingly down the hallway. It’s still early, but
there’s nowhere else that Kai and I want to be than in that bed with
our mate.
We turn as one, not needing words, as we head down the
hallway and into our bedroom. We strip off our clothes before we
each slip into bed with her. I wrap my arms around her waist and
smile when I feel her nuzzle her face into my neck. Her warm breath
fans over my skin, and my cock hardens between us. Kai fits his
front to her back, wrapping his arm around her waist too before he
buries his face in her shoulder, breathing in her sweet scent.
Raven shifts between us, her thighs opening, and my thigh slips
between them. My erection rubs against her soft curves and when I
hear Kai let out a groan, I know that he’s just as turned on. My
fingers brush against her skin as I take in her delicate features. Her
black hair is a cloud, spread out across the pillow and down her
back. I feel her shift against us again and I freeze, my hand gripping
her hip when I hear her let out a moan.
My eyes fly to Kai, and I see him grinning as he watches her. Her
hips rock again and the smile falls, replaced with a pained look when
he realizes that we never marked her. Shifters can’t come until
they’ve marked their mate and we haven’t done that. Feeling her rub
against us will just be torture until we’ve bitten her. Kai looks at me,
biting back a moan when she starts to move against us more
consistently. His eyes look pained and I’m sure mine are the same
but we both know that we would never deny our mate anything.
Our bodies tense, and we both stay still as stone as our mate
uses our bodies for her pleasure. She’s still asleep, her face calm and
her eyes closed tight as she rocks herself against us. My cock slips
between her legs, my bare skin rubbing against her thin yoga pants.
I can feel her hard nipples through her shirt as they press into my
chest and I bite back a groan as she lets out a moan.
My wolf is pacing inside of me, desperate to get out and claim
our mate. Kai’s dick settles into the cleft of her ass, and he bites
down on his bottom lip as she moves against us. My eyes close tight
when I hear her moan out our names. Wetness spreads across the
tip of my cock and I ease back so that Kai can push forward and feel
her wetness against him as well. He curses under his breath when
he feels the wet fabric against him and I smile. He grins back at me
and we both cuddle her closer as she sighs between us.
I kiss her forehead, and Kai kisses her shoulder as we cradle our
whole world between us.
Chapter Nine

I laid with my boys for a while, and Brock actually seemed to slip
from my mind. Something about having both of them wrapped
around me just pushes everything else out of my head.
Then they got up to make me something to eat. As soon as I
wasn’t in their arms, everything came rushing back. Now, I’m pacing
their cabin, biting on my bottom lip as I wonder what I should do
next. The smart thing to do would be to leave. Now that Brock is
here, it’s only a matter of time before he finds me. The thought of
leaving Easton and Kai tears me up inside, though, and my hand
rubs absently over my heart.
They’ve both been telling me that I’ll be safer here, that they can
protect me, and I believe them. Then I think about the two of them
being hurt as they try to protect me, and I want to cry. I don’t want
anything to happen to them.
“What are you thinking about?” Easton asks as he rests his hands
on my shoulders, stopping my pacing.
“I think I should leave,” I blurt, and I feel his hands tighten on
my shoulders.
“No. We’ve talked about this, Raven. You’re safest here with us.
We will protect you and keep you safe,” he tells me and I see Kai
nod as he steps up on my other side.
“What if you get hurt? What if he hurts you when you’re trying to
protect me?” I voice my worst fear.
“That’s our job as your mate, and we would happily die to keep
you safe,” Kai tells her.
They pull me into their arms, promising that they want to take
care of me, and I melt into them. We eat dinner quietly and I can
tell that they’re both still worried about me. We clean up and do the
dishes silently and I let them help me into the bedroom. My body
starts to tingle and I want to laugh. How can I be getting turned on
in the middle of all of this? I slip off my pants and wiggle my way
out of my bra, dropping them next to my duffle bag on the dresser.
Kai lifts me into bed, and I watch as they both slip out of their
clothes. My face flushes as I remember waking up this morning to
their naked bodies wrapped around me. My body had tingled then
but for some reason, it feels stronger now. They strip naked and
slide into bed on either side of me. They immediately tug me into
their arms, and soon, I’m spooned between them. My body starts to
react, heat flooding through my bloodstream as I shift against them.
Both of them freeze on either side of me as I rub against them.
I’m not sure when I got to be so bold, but I just feel like I’m meant
to do this. The tingles spread throughout my body, and soon, I’m
lost to sensation. My fingers slip under my shirt, running along my
skin as I rock my hips against their erections. My eyes flutter closed
when I feel them pulsing against me and I spread my legs wider,
letting them slip between my thighs.
Rubbing against them isn’t enough, though. I’m not even sure
what I need or how to ask for it. Kai and Easton are both perfectly
still as I move against them and I let out a groan as I blink my eyes
open and look into theirs.
“More,” I moan. “I need more,” I beg them.
Both of their eyes have darkened with lust, and I can feel how
much they want me. They look over to each other and then back to
me with pained expressions.
“We promised we wouldn’t take you until you agreed to be our
mate. We can’t sleep with you until you’re wearing our mark,”
Easton says.
“But that doesn’t mean that we can’t take care of you in a
different way,” Kai whispers as his lips meet mine.
It's our first kiss, MY first kiss, and it’s perfect. I hear Easton
growl before his lips land on my neck, and I feel him lick down to my
shoulder. Kai moans against my lips, his tongue dragging against my
full bottom lip. My fingers tunnel into his hair and I grip the long
strands as Easton kisses his way across my breasts, taking one stiff
tip into his mouth. His tongue twirls around the bud before his teeth
bite down on my nipple and I gasp into Kai’s mouth.
Kai takes the opening to slip his tongue into my mouth, and I
moan as my tongue darts out to tease against his. I get lost in them
then. Easton uses his tongue and teeth on my nipples, his hands
smoothing over my curves until he seems to have me memorized.
Kai’s fingers grip my hair and hold me in place so that he can
plunder my mouth. I moan, drowning in the taste of him as pleasure
explodes in every inch of my body.
Easton kisses lower, over my stomach before he shoulders my
legs apart. I gasp into Kai’s mouth when I feel my panties being torn
off and pull away to look down my body at Easton. He grins up at
me wolfishly before his head dips down, and he parts my folds. Kai
and I both watch as Easton uses two of his fingers to hold me open
and the three of us moan as one when he leans forward and licks up
my center.
My eyes fall closed as I fall back onto the bed, and Kai comes
down over me, his fingers toying with my nipples as his mouth lands
on mine once again. Easton licks me, his hand tightening on my
thigh as he holds me open to him. My mind blanks, focusing only on
what my two men are doing to me. Kai pulls away when I’m panting
for breath and I moan when he leans down and takes one of my
sensitive nipples into his mouth.
Kai’s hand slips down to join Easton between my legs, and I
almost shoot off the bed when he starts to rub my clit. Easton’s
tongue focuses on my opening then and he fucks me with it as I
moan and writhe under them. I don’t know how they seem to be so
in sync or how they seem to know exactly what I need from them
but I love it.
My body starts to tense, and my back bows off the bed as I feel
my orgasm start to rush through me. I scream out their names as I
come, my pussy spasming around Easton’s tongue as Kai sucks on
my nipples and rubs my clit. They prolong my orgasm like that and I
feel my juices running out of me. Easton licks it up with his tongue
as Kai brings his own fingers to his mouth and licks the digits clean.
I look down my body and see Easton still hovering over my
throbbing sex. My nipples are red and wet from both of their
mouths, and my thighs are still quivering. Even after that orgasm,
my body is still tingling and I look down at both of them as they
stare back at me with lust-filled eyes.
“I need more.”

The most elaborate observations on this subject are those made by
Lungwitz on the different aliments kept in closed vessels at the body
temperature, and on similar agents fed for days as an exclusive
aliment to oxen provided with a fistula of the rumen for purposes of
collection. He found carbon dioxide to be the predominating gas in
all cases, but that it was especially so in extreme tympanies and
varied much with the nature of the food. The following table gives
results:
Percentage of CO2.
Buckwheat (Polygonum fagopyrum) 80
Alfalfa (Mendicago Sativa) 70–80
Clover (Trifolium pratense) 70–80
Meadow grass 70–80
Indian corn (Zea Maïs) 70–80

The marsh gas varied from 16 to 39 per cent., being especially
abundant in cases of abstinence. It should, therefore, be in large
amount in the tympanies which accompany febrile and other chronic
affections. Hydrogen sulphide was found only in traces, recognizable
by blackening paper saturated with acetate of lead. Oxygen and
nitrogen were in small amount and were attributed to air swallowed
with the food. In the work of fermentation the oxygen may be
entirely used up.
Lesions. These are in the main the result of compression of the
different organs, by the overdistended rumen. Rupture of the rumen
is frequent. The abdominal organs are generally bloodless, the liver
and spleen shrunken and pale, though sometimes the seat of
congestion or even hemorrhage. Ecchymoses are common on the
peritoneum. The right heart and lungs are gorged with black blood,
clotted loosely, and reddening on exposure. The right auricle has
been found ruptured. Pleura, pericardium and endocardium are
ecchymotic. The capillary system of the skin, and of the brain and its
membranes, is engorged, with, in some instances, serous
extravasations.
Prevention. This would demand the avoidance or correction of all
those conditions which contribute to tympany. In fevers and
extensive inflammations, when rumination is suspended, the diet
should be restricted in quantity and of materials that are easily
digested (well boiled gruels, bran mashes, pulped roots, etc.,) and all
bulky, fibrous and fermentescible articles must be proscribed. In
weak conditions in which tympany supervenes on every meal, a
careful diet may be supplemented by a course of tonics, carminatives
and antiseptics such as fœungrec oxide of iron, hyposulphite of soda
and common salt, equal parts, nux vomica 2 drs. to every 1 ℔. of the
mixture. Dose 1 oz. daily in the food, or ½ oz. may be given with each
meal.
Musty grain and fodder should be carefully avoided, also
mowburnt hay, an excess of green food to which the stock is
unaccustomed, clover after a moderate shower, or covered with dew
or hoarfrost, frosted beet, turnip, or potato tops, frosted potatoes,
turnips or apples, also ryegrass, millet, corn, vetches, peas with the
seeds fairly matured but not yet fully hardened. When these
conditions cannot be altogether avoided, the objectionable ration
should be allowed only in small amount at one time and in the case
of pasturage the stock should have a fair allowance of grain or other
dry feed just before they are turned out. Another precaution is to
keep the stock constantly in motion so that they can only take in
slowly and in small quantity the wet or otherwise dangerous aliment.
When it becomes necessary to make an extreme transition from
one ration to another, and especially from dry to green food,
measures should be taken to make the change slowly, by giving the
new food in small quantities at intervals, while the major portion of
the diet remains as before, until the fæces indicate that the
superadded aliment has passed through the alimentary canal.
Another method is to mix the dry and green aliments with a daily
increasing allowance of the latter. Some have avoided the morning
dew and danger of fermentation by cutting the ration for each
succeeding day the previous afternoon and keeping it in the interval
under cover.
Treatment. Various simple mechanical resorts are often effective
in dispelling the tympany. Walking the animal around will
sometimes lead to relaxation of the tension of the walls of the
demicanal and even to some restoration of the movements of the
rumen with more or less free eructation of gas. The dashing of a
bucket of cold water on the left side of the abdomen sometimes
produces a similar result. Active rubbing or even kneading of the left
flank will sometimes lead to free belching of gas. The same may be at
times secured by winding a rope several times spirally round the
belly and then twisting it tighter by the aid of a stick in one of its
median turns.
A very simple and efficient resort is to place in the mouth a block
of wood 2½ to 3 inches in diameter and secured by a rope carried
from each end and tied behind the horns or ears. This expedient
which is so effective in preventing or relieving dangerous tympany in
choking appears to act by inducing movements of mastication, and
sympathetic motions of the œsophagus, demicanal and rumen. It not
only determines free discharge of gas by the mouth, but it absolutely
prevents any accession of saliva or air to the stomach by rendering
deglutition difficult or impossible. A similar effect can be obtained
from forcible dragging on the tongue but it is difficult to keep this up
so as to have the requisite lasting effect. Still another resort is to
rouse eructation by the motions of a rope introduced into the fauces.
The passing of a hollow probang into the rumen is very effective as
it not only secures a channel for the immediate escape of the gas, but
it also stimulates the demicanal and rumen to a continuous
eructation and consequent relief. Friedberger and Fröhner advise
driving the animals into a bath of cold water.
Of medicinal agents applicable to gastric tympany the best are
stimulants, antiseptics and chemical antidotes. Among stimulants
the alkaline preparations of ammonia hold a very high place. These,
however, act not as stimulants alone, but also as antacids and
indirectly as antidotes since the alkaline reaction checks the acid
fermentation which determines the evolution of the gas. They also
unite with and condense the carbon dioxide. Three ounces of the
aromatic spirits of ammonia, one ounce of the crystalline
sesquicarbonate, or half an ounce of the strong aqua ammonia may
be given to an ox, in not less than a quart of cold water. Next to this
is the oil of turpentine 2 oz., to be given in oil, milk, or yolk of egg.
But this too is an antiferment. The same remark applies to oil of
peppermint (½ oz.), the carminative seeds and their oils, and the
stronger alcoholic drinks (1 quart). Sulphuric or nitrous ether (2 oz.)
may be given in place. Pepper and ginger are more purely stimulant
and less antiseptic. Other alkalies—carbonate of potash or soda, or
lime water may be given freely.
Among agents that act more exclusively as antiseptics may be
named: muriatic acid 1 to 1½ drs. largely diluted in water; carbolic
acid, creosote or creolin, 4 drs. largely diluted; sulphite, hyposulphite
or bisulphite of soda 1 oz.; kerosene oil ½ pint; chloride of lime 4
drs.; chlorine water 1 pint; wood tar 2 oz. The latter agent is a
common domestic remedy in some places being given wrapped in a
cabbage leaf, and causing the flank to flatten down in a very few
minutes as if by magic. The extraordinarily rapid action of various
antiseptics is the most conclusive answer to the claim that the
disorder is a pure paresis of the walls of the rumen. The affection is
far more commonly and fundamentally an active fermentation, and
is best checked by a powerful antiferment. Even chloride of sodium
(½ lb.) and above all hypochlorite of soda or lime (½ oz.) may be
given with advantage in many cases.
Among agents which condense the gasses may be named
ammonia, calcined magnesia, and milk of lime for carbon dioxide,
and chlorine water for hydrogen.
Among agents used to rouse the torpid rumen and alimentary
canal are eserine (ox 3 grs., sheep ½ gr. subcutem), pilocarpin (ox 2
grs., sheep ⅕ gr.), barium chloride (ox 15 grs., sheep 3 to 4 grs.),
tincture of colchicum (ox 3 to 4 drs.). Trasbot mentions lard or butter
(ox 4 oz., sheep ½ oz.), as in common use in France.
In the most urgent cases, however, relief must be obtained by
puncture of the rumen, as a moment’s delay may mean death. The
seat for such puncture is on the left side, at a point equidistant from
the outer angle of the ilium, the last rib and the transverse processes
of the lumbar vertebræ. Any part of the left flank might be adopted to
enter the rumen, but, if too low down, the instrument might plunge
into solid ingesta, which would hinder the exit of gas, and would
endanger the escape of irritant liquids into the peritoneal cavity. In
an extra high puncture there is less danger, though a traumatism of
the spleen is possible under certain conditions. The best instrument
for the purpose is a trochar and cannula of six inches long and ⅓ to
½ inch in diameter. (For sheep ¼ inch is ample.) This instrument,
held like a dagger, may be plunged at one blow through the walls of
the abdomen and rumen until stopped by the shield on the cannula.
The trochar is now withdrawn and the gas escapes with a prolonged
hiss. If the urgency of the case will permit, the skin may be first
incised with a lancet or pen knife, and the point of the instrument
having been placed on the abdominal muscles, it is driven home by a
blow of the opposite palm. In the absence of the trochar the puncture
may be successfully made with a pocket knife or a pair of scissors,
which should be kept in the wound to maintain the orifice in the
rumen in apposition with that in the abdominal wall, until a metal
tube or quill can be introduced and held in the orifices.
When the gas has escaped by this channel its further formation can
be checked by pouring one of the antiferments through the cannula
into the rumen.
When the formation of an excess of gas has ceased, and the
resumption of easy eructation bespeaks the absence of further
danger, the cannula may be withdrawn and the wound covered with
tar or collodion.
When the persistent formation of gas indicates the need of
expulsion of offensive fermentescible matters, a full dose of salts may
be administered. If the presence of firmly impacted masses can be
detected, they may sometimes be broken up by a stout steel rod
passed through the cannula. If the solid masses prove to be hair or
woolen balls, rumenotomy is the only feasible means of getting rid of
them.
In chronic tympany caused by structural diseases of the
œsophagus, mediastinal glands, stomach or intestines, permanent
relief can only be obtained by measures which will remove these
respective causes.
