college. You became the kind of person who builds things instead of tearing them down. What did I do? I hid in my house.” She closed her eyes, suddenly exhausted.
    “Tessa, you were very young,” Jared said. “I was a lot older when I was injured. And I certainly didn’t lose anyone the way you did. It’s completely understandable that you’d want time to yourself after that.” Tessa felt him stroking her face. “The first part of being able to forgive others is being able to forgive yourself first and then move forward.”
    “How can I possibly do that?”
    “You already have,” Parker said, leaning over and kissing her on the lips. Tessa’s eyes flew open, confused. “You’re here, with us, love.”
    “That doesn’t mean I’m brave,” Tessa retorted, so completely disgusted at herself she wanted to scream. Jared shared the most devastating moment of his life with them, and here she was, freaking out about herself. “I’m being a baby here.” She took a deep breath and willed herself to relax. She would not become one of those clingy, stupid women. Jared was the one who deserved compassion right now, not her.
    “You are one of the most courageous women I know,” Jared said. He cupped his hand around her cheek and forced herself to look at him. “You chose to embrace the bond. A bond with two men, no less. That’s the most astonishing leap into the unknown there is.”
    Tessa wrinkled her nose at him. “Yeah, such a hardship, diving into bed with the two of you.” She pointedly looked up and down Jared’s body, taking in the sleek muscles and perfect skin. His gorgeous green eyes. Then she glanced at Parker, savoring the thick, muscled length of his body. The golden hair and bright-blue eyes. Yeah, whatever . She was suddenly amused. Hardship my ass.
    Jared barked a laugh. “See? You’re the least depressive and whiny female I’ve ever met.” He moved his hand down her cheek and over her breast, playing with her nipple until it pebbled, and she gasped. “I bet I can make you whimper, though.”
    Tessa narrowed her eyes at him, even as the overwhelming desire to bond flowed into her body. “You can try .”
    Parker chuckled and leaned in, slipping his lips along her neck. “Baby, you’re outnumbered here. You’re going to beg before we’re through with you.”
    Tessa arched her back then grabbed hold of Parker’s hair, moving his lips to her breast. “Maybe you’ll just do what I want you to.”
    Parker nipped her. “Maybe all this talk about who will do what to whom is pointless in a bond. We each know how the others feel. I want to make you scream with pleasure, and when you do, I’ll probably scream, too, and so will Jared. Everything you feel is multiplied between the three of us. I could never force you to do anything you didn’t want because it would be like forcing the best part of myself into bondage.”
    Tessa bit back a moan. How did he know exactly the right thing to say?
    He knows because he knows what you feel. And what I feel , Jared thought at her. He drew one of her arms to his lap. Tessa shivered as her wrist touched his erection, and then Jared turned her hand over. She stared at the tattoo that was suddenly clear on her skin.
    “Holy shit. Is that—”
    “Yeah. A paw print.” Jared traced his fingers over the mark. It tickled, and Tessa giggled and pulled her hand away.
    She looked more closely at the bonding mark. She had no idea what kind of animal left prints like that. A dog? Cat? “Why would our tattoos be so ordinary? I thought bonding marks were obscure designs?”
    Parker rolled closer, slinging his leg over hers. Tessa shivered as she felt his erection press up against her thigh. “Maybe it means something.” He slid his hand up her thigh, stopping just at the juncture of her thighs. Tessa wiggled, trying to get his hand to move higher. He obliged, and she parted her legs willingly, enjoying the way Jared gasped when her right leg brushed against
