Captive
Black Wolf Gorge 3

Professional Reviews

4 STARS: "Held captive in the book – that's an accurate description of what will happen to a reader who picks up any of the Black Wolf Gorge books, especially CAPTIVE, which is the third book in the series by Gale Stanley. As part of this solid series with a unique premise, CAPTIVE is another quality installment. Ms Stanley's wolf shifters are endangered, having been killed off years ago by humans, and know of only few of their kind that exist. In this book, they discover another pack but the discovery comes at a cost. The story focuses on Janis, the sister of two human males who mate with a female wolf shifter in a previous book. Janis doesn't know that her sister-in-law is a wolf shifter so she walks into trouble blind. During most of the book, Janis is kept out of the loop and many of the problems occur because of this dishonesty. The author did an excellent job of explaining the need for secrecy so the characters' integrity is left intact. When Janis breaks up with her cheating boyfriend, her hopes for a family seem to end and she feels her biological clock ticking louder than ever. Janis seems fragile but the reader can find a beam of inner strength that propels her forward, seemingly on a journey to discover herself. When a gift walks into her office in the form of two incredibly dark and handsome men, she embraces the opportunity. It's too good to be true when Janis realizes they are gay and their one night stand, a sexy ménage, leaves her lonely when they abandoned her… and little does she know that they are wolf shifters. Noah and Wade are sent to Philadelphia on a mission for their Alpha who has hopes to increase their dwindling numbers and save their pack from extinction. They never planned to bring a woman into their relationship, especially a human, but one night with Janis changes everything. They mark her as their mate but soon realize they must betray her to stay loyal to their Alpha. Though it nearly breaks them and determining that pack must be most important, they leave Janis to pursue their mission only to find that she is tangled up in their mission more than they are able to stop. Reuniting with her is not on the best of circumstances but their reunion in the hot springs is a sensual feast for the reader. The bond that forms between Janis, Noah and Wade is presented in a way to show devotion rather than merely sexual attraction (though that is there as well). And it is strong enough to hold center stage while the reader gets to revisit Sable and her mates along with Karin and Malcolm, all incredibly strong relationships that speak to the bonds of family whether human, wolf or hybrid. Characters are written with such depth that the reader cannot help but relate to their journey. Great story." -- Rebecca, The Romance Reviews

Excerpt

ADULT EXCERPT

Janis’s breath hitched, and she shuddered. Did they really mean to seduce her? At five-ten, Janis found there were few men that towered over her like Wade and Noah did. It was an incredible turn-on to feel small and helpless between these two sexy men. The desire to explore her dark fantasy took hold, but her insecurity held her back. Would they find her wanting like Roy obviously did? Suddenly, she didn’t care. Maybe it was the wine. Maybe she needed an ego boost. Whatever the reason, she wanted this experience.

“I don’t know.” She stared into Noah’s eyes. “I never had the opportunity before.”

“What if you had it now?” Wade murmured in her ear. His warm breath made goose bumps rise on her skin. He licked her ear and nuzzled her neck.

Noah moved closer and put his hands on her hips. He and Wade kissed over her shoulder.

“Oh.” She felt their kiss down to her toes. Noah’s cock pressed against her aching pussy. Wade rubbed his growing erection against her ass.

Noah pulled away from Wade, and his lips searched for hers. She put her arms around him and deepened the kiss, then pulled back. Janis had never felt so much, or wanted so much, from the touch of someone’s mouth on hers.

“Do you want this, Janis?” Noah said softly against her lips. “Do you want us?”

“I do,” she said. The hell with Roy and his redheaded nympho.  Having these two men in her bed would go a long way toward erasing the humiliation he’d put her through. She leaned her head back and looked at Noah seriously. “But, do you really want this?”

Noah rubbed his hard cock against her. “What do you think?”

“I don’t know what to think,” she said hoarsely. “I thought you were gay.”

Noah smiled. His eyes looked past her at Wade. “We don’t label ourselves with society’s titles. We are what we are. We want what we want. Right now we want you.”

Janis breath caught in her throat when she saw the dark promise in his eyes. Already she was so wet and hot for him, for them, that she felt herself coming undone. “Yes,” she hissed, then twisted her head toward Wade. “Yes, Wade.”

Wade moved around to her side and kissed her. For a moment their tongues danced then he came up for air.

“I’ve never done this before,” Janis told him. “I don’t know how to please you.”

Wade chuckled. “Then it will be so much fun teaching you how.” He went to his knees before Noah and unzipped his slacks. Noah’s cock sprang free, long, thick and inches from Wade’s face. She’d never seen an uncircumcised penis before.

She watched transfixed as Wade stroked him, and the foreskin moved back and forth over the head of his cock. She bit her lip. Her fingers itched to touch him.

Janis tensed along with Noah when Wade cupped his balls and lapped at the pre-cum leaking from the tip of his penis. Noah groaned and twisted his fingers in Wade’s hair. Curiosity and lust kept her rooted to the spot. This was nothing like the X-rated movies she’d seen. These men really cared about each other. It made all the difference.

She wanted to be Wade, to touch Noah like he did. The power and passion these two men displayed was palpable. The strong masculine electricity that flowed between them sparked a fire in her belly. She’d never seen anything so hot and so sexy in her life. Her breasts felt achy and heavy, and her panties were soaked. She squeezed her thighs together, but it did nothing to assuage the throbbing between her legs.

She’d never enjoyed sucking Roy’s cock, but right now, all she wanted was to get to her knees in front of Noah and take him in her mouth, taste him.

Wade released Noah and looked up at Janis. “Come here.”

She got to her knees beside Wade, and he kissed her. Noah’s taste exploded on her tongue. She grabbed Wade’s head and sucked on his tongue, wanting more. Wade pulled back and nipped her bottom lip. He held her gaze. “She likes your taste, Noah. And I think she wants to suck your cock.” 

“Do you, Janis?” Noah asked as he removed his clothes. 

She whimpered and reached for him, but Wade held her back. She stilled as Wade removed her sweater, then unzipped the back of her dress and pulled it over her shoulders.

“Very pretty.” Wade played with the lace on her bra before unhooking it. “But you look much prettier without it.” He tossed it aside. “Lift your hips.” He got rid of her dress and panties then got out of his own clothes.

Completely bare to their eyes, she had a moment of hesitation, but when she saw the naked desire in their gaze, it disappeared.

“Up on your knees,” Wade said.

 She complied immediately. Noah’s rock hard erection tempted her. Like a woman in a dream, Janis rubbed her cheek over the velvet skin of his cock and moaned in appreciation.

Wade took her hand and wrapped her fingers around Noah’s shaft. Then he got behind her and covered her with his body like a mantle. He put his hand over hers and showed her how to stroke Noah and push the silky foreskin all the way back.

“What are you thinking, Janis?” he said in her ear.

“How much I want Noah’s long, beautiful cock inside me.”

Did I really say that?

Wade chuckled. “Later.” His big, warm hands cupped her breasts. It felt so good, she stopped and turned her head to search for his lips.

Wade whispered in her ear. “Don’t stop. I want you to suck Noah’s cock while I touch you.”
