Chapter 1

Reagan

"Holy shit," Reagan muttered as she stumbled over her high heel. She slapped a hand over her mouth to try and keep in the giggles, but it was no use, she was definitely drunk.

The wedding had been wonderful. Even though her sister, Sadie, was pregnant with Diesel’s cubs, she’d still been a radiant bride. Reagan could admit to getting a little teary during the ceremony. Not just because she was happy for her sister, but because she’d been a tiny bit sad for herself.

Hence, the drinking.

As soon as Diesel had lifted her sister up and literally whisked her away to start their honeymoon immediately, Reagan had bee-lined to the bar.

Now it was getting late, her gorgeous sapphire blue Maid of Honor dress was starting to feel like a strait jacket, and Reagan was not only drunk, but horny as hell.

She looked around and noticed with a sigh that most of the guests had already started to disperse. Not that there had been that many attendees to begin with. They did live in a small town in the middle of Alaska, after all. Plus, Sadie was new to the area, and Diesel had always preferred to be in bear form, rather than human, and wasn’t what you’d call social.

Reagan sighed again and was about to come to terms with the fact that it would be another evening of pleasuring herself, when her eyes landed on a large male shape over by the tree line.

Hunter, she thought as she changed direction and started heading his way.

Hunter, Blaze, and Diesel were not only brothers, but triplets, born in the same litter. They were all huge, around six foot seven, with large bulging muscles and dark hair. Reagan had never been that interested in Diesel; he hadn’t been around much, after all, but she’d encountered both Hunter and Blaze enough to wonder a time or two what they’d be like in the sack.

Both men were no strangers to the ladies in this town. Unlike Diesel, they could often be found at The Ridge on a Saturday night, drinking, laughing, and talking up women. Reagan had always been attracted, but had shied away from hooking up with anyone in this small town. Not only would she have to run into them at every turn, but she now considered Hunter and Blaze friends.

Hell, they were almost family.

Of course, as Reagan made out Hunter’s broad shoulders in his tapered tux, she wasn’t feeling the slightest bit familial.

It had been way too long since she’d gotten laid, so why not kill two birds with one stone? Scratch that itch that was nagging her, and find out whether Hunter Grizzly was as fantastic as his reputation claimed.

Hey, Reagan called as she neared him, her voice throaty with desire.

The forest was pitch black behind him, so when Hunter turned, she couldn’t completely make out his face, but she could see his lips tip up when he realized it was her.

Hey yourself, he replied, his voice low, with just enough of a growl to cause shivers to run down her spine.

Whatcha doin’ out here? she asked, trying not to slur her words. Sure, Reagan’d had a lot to drink, but she didn’t want him to think that she was so far gone she didn’t know what she was doing. Lord knew the Grizzly brothers were nothing if not chivalrous.

Just thinking, was his reply.

Were you thinking about me? Reagan asked boldly, running the tip of her finger along the neckline of her gown.

She grinned when Hunter’s eyes followed her movement, before he looked back at her and asked, Who else would I be thinking about?

Reagan could taste the victory on her lips, even as she longed to feel the length of him inside of her.

Come on, she said coyly, holding out her hand and pulling him deeper into the woods.

Once they were far enough away to have total privacy in the thick of the forest, she stopped and turned, placing her hands on his chest.

As she pushed his jacket up and off of his shoulders, Hunter asked, What are you doing, Reagan?

Something that I think we’ve both wanted to do for a long time, Reagan replied, then tip-toed up to reach behind his head and pull him toward her lips.

That first touch was all they needed to ignite the chemistry that she’d known they’d have.

Reagan moaned as she opened her lips and his tongue delved inside. Their hands were everywhere at once as they made love to each other with their mouths. She started trying to undo his buttons, but when that proved too difficult, she took fabric in each hand and pulled, smiling against him when she heard the satisfying rip of his shirt.

Mmmm, she murmured against his lips as her hands explored the hot expanse of his chest. With smooth skin with rough patches of hair on his chest and navel, he felt perfect beneath her touch.

Gasping, Reagan turned her head as his lips began to trail down her neck, giving him better access as she moved her hand lower, following his happy trail. When she reached his slacks, she undid the button and lowered the zipper, then shoved her hand inside.

Her pussy clenched and got wet when she encountered his thick, hard cock, rather than fabric from underwear.

Her hand was wrenched out of his pants when he dropped to his knees, lining his face up with the heaving flesh of her exposed breasts. Easing the dress further down, Hunter placed his hands on Reagan’s lower back to propel her forward, then suckled one nipple into his mouth. Reagan’s head fell back when the sharp sting of his bite hit her nipple, and her hand came up to cup the back of his head. She held him in place as he sucked more of her tender flesh between his lips, then moved to pay attention to her other breast.

When one hand left her back and began sliding up her leg under her gown, Reagan opened her legs unabashedly, needing to steady herself as she gave him better access to the place she wanted him the most.

His fingers, his mouth, his cock…
