Shifters with Secrets (An MMF Bisexual Threesome)(28)

Chuck groaned as she pushed him towards the kitchen.

Barbara ushered Ellis’ group to the other side of the diner. The Flint Crew sat back down at their table as Sander moved two tables together.

Ellis glanced back at the waitress. She had dropped the knife now that the situation was diffused. Man she was beautiful. He could stare at her all day. And he would’ve if his mom hadn’t gripped him in a big, mama bear hug.


“Why don’t you call your mother?” she said, when she finally let him go.

Ellis glanced back at the waitress. She looked back at him and smiled. His big muscular legs went weak.

“Are you serving us Mrs. B?” Finch asked.

She shook her head. “I’ll let the new girl pay her dues.” She waved her over and Ellis swallowed hard. “Boys this is Alexi. Be nice to her or you’re going to have to deal with the mama bear.”

“Hi,” Alexi said, playing with her hands and looking at them shyly. “Do you guys know what you want to eat?”

A low rumble escaped from Ellis’ chest. Too low for a human to hear but all of the guy’s heads at the table turned towards him. Redness crept up his cheeks as his inner bear betrayed him.

“Well we know what Ellis wants to eat!” Keene said, slapping the table and laughing. The other guys joined in. All except for Beckett.

Alexi looked around confused. “I’ll just give you guys a minute,” she said, backing away from the table of laughing men.

“Look at him,” Keene said in a fit of laughter. He could hardly breathe. “Even his ears are red!”

“In all seriousness,” Finch said. “If you two become mates can you hook me up with free waffles?”

Ellis barely registered the jeers. He was busy trying to contain his riled up bear. A bear will always know their mate when they see them and his bear had chosen her. He knew he was in trouble.

Beckett was studying Ellis quietly as the rest of the crew continued teasing him. “You should go talk to her,” he said.

“Yeah go tell her all about your thrilling fish hook collection,” Keene laughed.

Ellis took a deep breath. For someone who was usually so adventurous and risk-taking, he was feeling very timid and scared.

He steadied his nerves. It will be fine. My bear is recognizing her as my mate. She’ll know it too.

He stood up and walked over to the counter. Alexi was watching him, looking unsure of the situation. Looking unsure of him. “Do you need something?” she asked.

She was so breathtaking in her brand new waitress uniform, the crisp, white apron hugging her deliciously, big hips. Her lips were lush and full. His bear urged him on, begging him to be released so that he could claim her properly. He tightened his body, trying to restrain him.

“Are you okay?” she asked, taking a step back.

“I would like you to be my mate,” he said.

He heard his brother groan.

Keene slapped the table and burst out laughing behind him. “I told you he wouldn’t have any game!”

Redness flushed in Ellis’ cheeks as he saw the horrified look on Alexi’s face. He hardly had any experience speaking with women but he figured that she would want him for a mate right back. He was wrong. Very wrong.

“I uhh…No,” she stammered, then said abruptly. “I don’t want a boyfriend. Not now. Not ever.” She crossed her arms and stared at him with narrow eyes. “Please sit down. I’m going to take your order and that’s it.”

He stared at her in confusion. Why wasn’t she recognizing that they belonged together? This was not going the way that he had envisioned it.

“But we’re meant to be together,” he said in shock. She backed away further.

A hand grabbed his wrist. “I’m sorry for my friend here,” Quint said, pulling Ellis back. “He inhaled a bit too much smoke this morning and it’s gone to his tiny brain.”

Quint led Ellis back to the table like a shell shocked solider that just came out of battle.

“Nice line Romeo,” Sander said.

Keene was loving it. “That was the worst thing that I have ever seen,” he said. “And I once walked in on my grandparents having sex. In full gimp suits. While listening to Nickleback.”

Ellis slumped down in his chair and looked to Beckett. “I don’t understand. Where did I go wrong?”

“I think you lost her at mate,” his brother said wincing.

“That was painful to watch,” Finch said.

“I think I lost my appetite,” Sander chimed in.

“Even I feel bad for you,” Matteo laughed. And Matteo never laughed.

The Flint Crew got up from their table providing a welcome distraction. Ellis and his crew stared at them as they left.

The Flint Crew were a clan of shape shifting bears from the East side of the mountain. There was a long standing rivalry between his crew and their’s that went back to his Grandfather’s days. They often fought over territory and of course there were the blood feuds. So many that neither side could remember who started them.

Ellis and his crew suspected them of starting the string of wild forest fires lately. The Flint Crew worked for McCoy Industries, a huge corporation that spanned the country. Lately they had been focused on developing the rugged land in the Flathead National Forest. There was a loophole in the bylaw that allowed for building on areas destroyed by natural forest fires. McCoy Industries was exploiting this by creating their own ‘natural’ fires. The Hudson Crew was convinced that they were paying the Flint Crew to set these fires. So far the Hudson Crew were able to smokejump in and clear the fires before too much damage was done. But the summer was pushing forward and the trees were going to get dryer and more prone to sprawling forest fires. They would have their hands full.
