when they each touched one of my arms and helped me sit up.
You don t sound like you aren t hurt, Shem.
Wasn t that kind of moan, I panted as I turned towards him,
letting him see my hard cock. I sniffed the air as his arousal filled the
room. His hand was still on my arm so I knew exactly where he was
and pounced. He fell back to the floor as I sprawled all over his body
and attacked his lips. At first he kissed me back, his hands running all
over me until he seemed to snap out of the lustful haze we were in
when he touched my ass.
Wait, stop. This is going too fast, he said firmly as he pulled
away from me. I did as he asked but took it as a good sign when he
just sat up and didn t move me off of his lap. That and he kept his
hands on my ass. You really are gorgeous.
So are you, I purred, but kept my distance. It was true, too. I d
gotten an eyeful of our hot fireman mate when I was in cat form. He
had dark chocolate eyes and matching hair that he kept short. I d
never imagined a man as tall as him at about six-six would have
60 Joyee Flynn
dimples, but he did. And he had to be about two-eighty of hard
muscles. I m blind in human form, but I can see in cheetah form.
And I can partially see when I m in half and half form.
Okay, run me through this slowly, Diets said, and I gave him a
nod. You re a cheetah shape shifter.
Yes, I was born this way. My whole family is.
And what, Curtis is a werewolf? Diets snickered, and I felt the
blood drain from my face. Oh shit. I hoped to get him used to the idea
of me being different before throwing in Curtis.
No, but he s not human either, I whispered and glanced toward
where our other mate was sitting. Are you sure you re ready for
more, Diets?
Yeah, just give it to me all now.
I m a vampire, Curtis said, and I knew his fangs were extended
from the change in his voice. I hoped he didn t go all vamp on Diets.
I d heard it was scary enough.
And were you born that way? Diets asked softly.
Yes.
And you guys are mated to each other?
Yes, I answered this time.
And you re saying I m your other mate? Or are there more?
Cat shifters get two mates, I said gently as I moved my hands
over his chest. It wasn t seductive, more a calming gesture. After
we re mated, we go into heat with the lunar cycle. Fate gives us two
mates because for those three days we become nymphos, and it takes
two mates to keep up with us.
So we d share you?
No, the three of us are all mates, I answered and placed both
hands over his heart. Can t you feel it in here, Diets? Did you just
know something was different about us when you met us? It wasn t
just me you were thinking about today, right? You were thinking
about Curtis, too.
My Angel Cheetah 61
Yes, Diets answered so softly I barely heard him. He slowly
moved me to sit on the floor before I felt him stand. Okay, I listened
and didn t run. But I need to go. This is too much.
No, I whimpered, wanting to reach out to him but keeping my
hands in my lap to cover my wilting erection.
I m sorry, Shem. You re breathtaking, and I thought you could
be my own angel. But this is too much for me. I I can t get involved
in all of this. I m so sorry.
I nodded and turned my head away as if he d smacked me as tears
burned in my eyes. Reaching out, I found my pants and started to pull
them on as our mate walked toward the door.
I m sorry, Diets, you can t leave, Curtis said firmly.
The fuck I can t, Diets growled, and I heard skin smacking and
guessed someone shoved the other one. What are you going to do,
keep me prisoner?
Don t, Curtis. Please, just let him leave. It s what he wants, I
sniffled as the first tears escaped. He doesn t want us, okay? Just
leave him be.
No! Curtis shouted, and I could feel his anger and grief. No! I
won t lose you, my angel cheetah. I won t let you die because he s too
scared to deal with this! He could have everything, have you, and he s
going to walk away. We could be a real family and make you happy if
he d pull his head out of his ass. He can t leave!
It s not what he wants, big guy, I whispered as I stood up. I felt
the couch and made my way to the door, counting my steps. Let him
go.
I won t lose you because he s an idiot, Curtis cried out.
Why would you lose him? What do you mean let him die? Diets
asked in a frantic voice. Why is anyone dying?
If Shem doesn t claim his mates within forty-eight hours of
scenting them, he dies, Curtis choked out. If you deny him, he will
get sick and die, and there s nothing I can do to stop it. I won t lose
him.

He told you that? Diets asked.
Yes.
Bullshit. Diets laughed, and it wasn t a nice laugh. Oh god, that
was just the knife in the back. I crumbled to my knees as he howled
so loudly it was as if he was slapping me over and over again. I
couldn t hold back the tears, sobbing as I curled into a ball. Why is
he crying?
You ve just rejected him, called him a liar basically, and signed
his death sentence, Curtis answered with a snarl. Why do you think
he s crying?
This can t be real. He can t die because of this, Diets denied
adamantly. You guys are trying to trick me. This is some type of
scam.
Why? Why would we lie, Diets? What would we have to gain
from trapping you as our mate? It s forever. You think we d want a
mate forever that didn t want us?
I don t know, but things like this don t happen, Diets shouted.
What can we do to make you believe us at least? Let s start
there, Curtis begged as I sat up and shook my head.
No, I whispered, but they ignored me.
I don t know, Curtis. You re going to get some other shifter or
vampire, which I still can t believe is real, to feed me the same crap.
How does this end? You need a human sacrifice for something, and
you guys trick people this way?
No, I said louder this time.
What the fuck, man? Because I m a vampire I sacrifice humans?
That s bullshit, Curtis yelled back. We re not trying to hurt you!
Being mated to Shem is the best thing that ever happened to me. He s
amazing. Fate gave you the chance for immortality and happiness on
a silver platter, and you re just going to walk away?
What do you expect me to say? Sure, sign me up and let s fuck
until we drop?
My Angel Cheetah 63
No! I screamed at the top of my lungs. That finally got them
quiet. I turned to where I knew Curtis was. Just stop, okay? He
wanted me until he knew what I was, doesn t that tell you something?
Do you think he ll ever change his mind about us or ever want us?
Just let him go.
I can t do that, angel. He leaves, you die in two days. And then I
die because I m tied to you. You forget that part about being mated to
