The Brothers Menage

By Louisa Bacio

The Brothers Ménage

Who says all fairytale princesses are cursed?

Blessed with the ability to shift on the first three days of the New Moon, Princess Daphne vows to find a romantic connection before her father locks her into a loveless, arranged marriage.

Twins Cliff and Jacob know all the animals in the forest, until they come across shifter Daphne, who appears to them in different forms before transforming into a human.

As time runs out, the brothers from the wrong side of the tracks must weigh if a lifetime with Daphne is worth sharing their own secret, and if it’ll make a difference.

Awake: Unsleeping Beauty

Thank you so much for picking up The Brothers Ménage. After growing up in the forest with their adopted father the Huntsman, twins Cliff & Jacob don’t realize they’re looking for love, until they find it! Princess Daphne is making up her own escape from reality.

Ever since I was young, I loved the world of fairytales. In college, I took a few classes on these stories passed down from one generation to the next, and some of the original, more wicked tales.

If you haven’t already, check out where the story begins with Sleeping Beauty meeting the Princess & the Pea in the erotic lesbian tale Awake: Unsleeping Beauty.

Got a favorite tale? I always enjoy hearing from readers. You can reach me at [e-mail]

Enjoy!

Dedication

For all those who still believe in fairytales, and enjoy the naughty versions.

Special thanks to editor and publisher Kate Richards, it’s always a pleasure, and to fellow author/editor Sascha Illyvich for pushing me to dig deeper.

The Brothers Ménage

By

Louisa Bacio

They looked nothing alike for being twins. One tall, one short. One dark-haired, and the other blond. Even their temperaments were in complete opposites. Their father used to shake his head at their differences, encouraging them to share and get along as brothers should. Until, one day, their dad led them out into the deep woods, and left them to survive or die.

Chapter One

Twelve Years Later….

The rustling of the wind through the leaves sounded like the laughter of maidens. From the corner of his eye, Cliff caught a flash of reddish-brown, so quick that, by the time he turned to look, it had vanished. Dry matter crunched beneath his feet. This time of year, in the heat of the summer, everything suffered. The noise made it harder for him to track because the animals could hear him coming. Still, the lure of the hunt drew him.

Ducking beneath a low-hanging branch, he again caught a streak of flowing hair, the color of glowing embers. A fawn, maybe? She’d make a fine kill. The air became cooler the closer he came to the river, and the ground softened. Stepping lightly, he approached the drinking area where animals and humans alike refreshed.

He stepped into the clearing, searching the area for his prey. If he returned with dinner, and his brother and father came back empty-handed, he’d be the hero—and full. What he found wasn’t what he expected.

A lone female sat on the riverbank, her delicate, pale feet resting in a pool. She brushed out her long, thick red hair. When he’d thought he was seeing a deer, it was her, this woman, and she was naked.

The sight of her, the awareness of her proximity, caused a physical reaction. His pants grew tight, as his cock pushed against the physical confines. He shifted uncomfortably. He didn’t interact with the opposite sex much. The time would come someday, but now?

Her light voice danced through the air. Was she singing? The woman leaned over, cupping both hands and capturing water to douse her body. As she moved, he caught sight of her breasts, perfectly formed, with light-pink nipples. His tongue dried, and he ground his teeth. What was she doing here? It wasn’t safe. If he’d come upon her, anyone could.

Should he leave quietly, as to not disturb her? As he turned, his foot slipped on a squishy patch of earth, and he went down to his knee with
