The weeks since they'd returned from their lake cabin vacation had been both better and worse for Paul, Bella, and Jacob. On the one hand, they were all getting along better and did their best to spend time together a few times a week, but, on the other hand, it was getting more painful between those times.
Bella had started daydreaming about a place of their own where they could recreate their time at the lake. She knew the separation with her in Forks with her dad and The guys in La Push, Jake with his dad and Paul in his small house, was taking a toll on all of them. She had more headaches when they were apart and Sam had told her that Paul wasn't sleeping much. Jake had started taking double patrols so that he could run in wolf form to Forks and lay under her window occasionally.
She'd finally broken down and told her mom about her relationship with the two men. Her mom, predictably, had been thrilled to talk about Bella's love life, even though Bella assured her it was only barely R rated at this point. Renee had laughed and told her that as long as they were careful there was no harm in an NC-17 rating. It was during one of those exceedingly weird mother/daughter conversations that Renee casually mentioned polyamory to Bella. Bella was intrigued as Renee filled her in on what she knew about it. Ethical non-monogamy, Bella had never even considered that there were others out there sharing relationships like hers. Renee, of course, knew nothing of the Pack, but apparently, she and Phil had some close friends that were in a polyamorous relationship. There were many ways people made it work, so surely Bella, Jake, and Paul could figure something out, too.
Paul had known he was bisexual for years. Sex was casual for him. He'd never really had a girlfriend or a boyfriend and he definitely had never been in love. Sleeping with Bella and Jake at the lake cabin had been his first foray into romance and as things slowly progressed between them, he'd started to wonder what it would be like to be with Bella and Jake in every way.
So far, he'd shared Bella with Jake, but he and Jake hadn't been very physical with each other. Since Bella and Jake were both virgins, his favorite new topic to think about at night when he couldn't sleep was making love to them.
Jake hadn't seemed to be uncomfortable when they'd fooled around with Bella and there was a certain amount of touching that naturally occurred when you were sharing the third person in the bed. He could tell that Jake was warming up to him as a partner and not just Bella's other imprint.. Never one to mull things over too long, Paul decided he would text Jake and see if he wanted to come over and have a couple beers. The time had come to see if there was attraction between them when Bella wasn't with them.
Paul's house had been remodeled room by room, making it feel luxurious. He had done the work himself after his father finally blew town and didn't return after his first phase. The physical work had been what Paul needed in those early months to keep his wolf calm and controlled. Recently, Paul had worked hard to make the whole house accessible for Bella, removing clutter and unnecessary tripping hazards, taking care to keep things in the same place so she could move through the house unaided. Both men wanted her to be as independent as possible and Bella appreciated that they didn't coddle her or rush to her aid every time she tried to do something.
Bella lay back in Jake's arms while they enjoyed a hot bath in Paul's master bathroom. He had given them the grand tour of his house before he'd left for his patrol shift. Jake nuzzled at Bella's neck, that low rumble of contentment in his chest making her smile as they quietly talked about the last few weeks. Jake lightly caressed Bella's skin as he told her about how Paul had approached him to become more physical with each other. Bella nibbled along Jake's jaw as he told her that he'd been unsure about it at first, because he'd never been attracted to another man before, but Paul seemed to be an exception. Bella softly encouraged him as he cupped her breasts. She liked hearing Jacob describe Paul's touches and how they made him feel. She could feel Jacob growing aroused from the retelling as much as from touching her while they relaxed in the tub.
Jake wrapped her in a fluffy towel as they drained the water and walked hand-in-hand to the master bedroom. It was late and they planned to get some sleep before Paul got home. Bella pulled back the covers on the bed and beckoned Jake in with her.
Paul came home in the wee hours between midnight and sunrise to find them curled up together in his bed. He smirked as Jacob woke up, no doubt feeling the weight of Paul's gaze, and sleepily nudged Bella awake, too. Paul, already nude from phasing, stalked toward them and slid between the cool sheets behind Bella. His voice was a low husky rasp as he asked what they'd been up to, teasing as he nibbled along Bella's shoulder, her skin redolent of Jake.
Jake and Bella had already decided they were going to seduce Paul when he got home, so the sleepy teasing quickly grew more heated as the trio let their inhibitions drop. Jake fished a bottle of lube from the side table and gave Paul a slight nod of permission to use it as he slid down Bella's petite frame to settle his face between her parted thighs. Paul watched the other man go down on their mate with hungry eyes; a bottle of lube held in one fist to warm it before he snapped open the lid and slicked his fingers.
Bella's body arched as Jake let out a low moan, the sound reverberating through her body as he rested his head against her thigh when Paul began to touch him. Bella stroked his hair, biting at her bottom lip with a small whimper as Paul brought Jake's fingers to her slick folds, encouraging him to pleasure her, while the sounds of his slick fingers working at Jake's tight ring of muscle filled the room.
The three took their time with their foreplay. Paul's low murmurs to both his lovers encouraging them to relax and enjoy the new sensations. Bella moaned each time Jake's frame shuddered with pleasure from Paul's touch and she soon reached her peak while Jake thrust his fingers deep inside her slick passage.
As Bella came, Jake began to eagerly push back against Paul's hand; Paul kissed his shoulder and slid his fingers out of Jake's loosened entrance, soothing him when he moaned with frustrated need. He helped get them into a more comfortable position with Jake kneeling between Bella's parted thighs, her legs spread wide to accommodate Jacob's body.
Paul murmured soft encouragement and praise as Jacob slowly pressed forward into Bella's body, easing into her until they both writhed at the sensation of being joined. Bella reached for Jake and he leaned forward so she could stroke her fingers over his face.
Paul moved up behind Jacob as he gave Bella's body a moment to adjust to being filled. He stroked his fingers down Jake's back and squeezed Bella's hip gently as he spread more lubricant over his erection. Jake moaned affirmatively as Paul pressed the broad crown of his cock against Jake's hole and slowly worked himself inside, the motion pressing Jake further inside Bella at the same time. The three of them slowly began to move together as they found their rhythm. Their lovemaking was slow and tender with Paul leading and murmuring his affection to them both as they moved passionately.
When Jacob began to tremble from the dual sensations of filling and being filled, Bella slid her fingers to where they were joined, touching herself and whispering for Paul to move faster. Paul slid his hands under Bella and dragged her harder onto Jacob's shaft as his hips pounded into him deeper.
Jacob broke the rhythm first with a ragged cry, thrusting deep inside Bella's body as he came. Bella bucked wildly as she joined him, Jake's fingers digging into her hips to hold her impaled as they both trembled. Paul fought to enjoy the sensations of Jacob spasming around his throbbing shaft before, finally, he could hold back no longer and thrust deep inside him, body straining to push even deeper as he came.
There was no sound for several long moments as the three lovers fought to calm their breathing and their tense muscles relaxed. Paul slowly pulled out of Jacob's body and kissed his shoulder when the other man moaned softly, Bella stroking his sweat-dampened hair as he collapsed beside her and pulled her close. Paul leaned in and kissed her sweetly, too, before rising to clean up and bring back warm washcloths for them.
Bella and Jacob lay basking in the afterglow until their third returned. Paul cleaned them both and tossed the cloths into the hamper before curling up with them again, Bella in the middle, but all of them so close that Paul could rest his arm across Bella's hip to caress Jake's.
Victoria watched from high amid the treetops, her view into the older wolf's bedroom allowing her to see that they were definitely mates. The human girl that had gotten James killed had, not one, but two wolf mates. She wrinkled her delicate nose at the stench of them, even the girl's light floral scent was starting to take on eau d' wet dog. Victoria was patient. She could wait and bide her time. Once she found her opening, she would kill the wolves first, slowly so the girl could watch. All it would take was a bite, just the scratch of her venom-coated teeth, and their fates were sealed. She jumped from ancient tree to ancient tree, eventually making her way back to the ocean and swimming away undetected.
