"Ed!" Doc spoke just loudly enough that I could hear him. I was pretty sure the three of them could hear normal conversation level volumes anywhere in the house if something like a shower wasn't drowning it out. That might make things awkward. I supposed it depended on how literally they took sharing. One of many things we needed to explore.
"I wasn't asleep," I said tiredly.
A few moments later, I saw Doc lean against the doorframe, arms crossed. Allan wasn't far behind, also still a wolf.
I held out my hand.
Allan beat Doc to my side, pouncing me much like Ed had.
"Oof." I mock wrestled him too, and he flopped down on my legs. Ed had moved his head when Allan pounced me. He put it back once Allan was out of the way, still staring at my face.
I knew they were human, but it was hard not to respond to them like they were dogs. It was a really good thing they didn't mind. Of course, as Doc said, if they were going to act like lap dogs...
Doc sat on the bed next to me. "Are you okay?" He took my hand, holding it gently.
"I can't sleep. I don't know if it's because I'm in a strange place, or if it's just because of all the things going on. Good and bad things." I grinned at him. "I'll be okay."
"Allan, get off her."
Allan growled, the sound vibrating through my core. He also didn't move.
Doc sighed and arched an eyebrow at me.
I shrugged. I wanted them there. I just hoped it wasn't too much, too fast.
"Fine, all of you scoot over."
Allan finally consented to get off my legs, and Ed got up. I shifted over until I was in the middle of the bed.
"I guess I know why you have such a large bed now."
"They have their own beds," Doc grumbled. "I had a queen sized one. It was not big enough for the three of us."
I held up the covers, and he slid in next to me, leaning on one elbow and looking at me.
"If you two are going to stay here, you need to put clothes on as soon as you wake up. Then you can come back," Doc ordered the werewolves.
Ed held out his paw as if to shake. Allan made an affirmative sounding yip.
"You're sure you're okay with this?"
"Yeah, we'll see how it goes, okay? I promise to say something if any of you do anything I'm not comfortable with." Feeling a little bold after the day, I squeezed Doc's hand and then tugged him close to me, rolling over until my back was to his chest.
He wrapped his arms around me and buried his nose in my hair. "Mmm, you smell nice," he whispered.
I didn't reply, just pressed into him.
Ed curled up against my chest and Allan stretched out against my legs, using Ed's hips as a pillow.
Sandwiched between them, I finally drifted off to sleep.

I woke up when someone moved the sheets. Doc was still wrapped around me, and he didn't move. Allan, now in human form, was sliding into the bed next to me. He hesitated when he saw me looking at him. I held out a hand, inviting him to join us.
Doc's hand twitched against my stomach where he held me, and his breathing changed. It didn't surprise me that he was a light sleeper. He didn't say anything, and the slight movement was the only clue he was awake.
"You're sure?" Allan whispered.
I nodded. "If we're going to give this a try, I may as well get used to your habits."
He smiled and scooted over close to me, still facing me, laying on his side, head propped on his arm. "It's a lot easier to convince someone to snuggle with you when you're a big fluffy dog."
I snorted and Doc laughed into my hair.
"Do you have to convince people often?" I made sure my voice conveyed that I was teasing him.
"Well, uh, no. I guess not. You should thank us, though. Doc wasn't much of a snuggler until we trained him."
I laughed harder.
Doc kissed me on the neck and squeezed his arms around me. "Never much opportunity."
I breathed out a little, trying not to start anything.
Allan studied me closely. "You're sure you want to try this?"
"Yeah, I'm sure."
"You're going to have to ditch Alex," Allan said.
I blinked, not having expected them to bring up the other guy in my life. "Yeah, I know."
"You're okay with that?"
"Yeah."
"Good." Ed's voice came from the other side of Doc. I guess he had crawled back into bed on that side. "I don't like him."
"We know," Doc grumbled, still talking into my neck.
His breath sent shivers down my spine, and my heartrate jumped.
"You're starting shit, Doc," Allan pointed out, a hint of interest in his voice.
"Mmmm," Doc replied, nibbling my neck gently.
I was pretty sure my eyes rolled back in my head, and my back arched as I gasped, hands clutching Allan's arm.
"Let him," Ed growled out.
Allan was focused on Doc instead of me when I looked at him, and he was frowning.
"Allan?" I managed to get his name out, though my brain was starting to short circuit.
"Hey, Doc," Allan said instead of answering me.
"Hmm?" He bit me harder, and I convulsed as pleasure coursed through me.
"When's the last time you had any actual blood?"
"Been a while," Doc mumbled into my neck. His hands crept up my stomach toward my breasts.
Though I was having a hard time thinking, I started to get an idea of what had Allan concerned. My body trembled, and I tried not to move. I had told Doc he could, and he had implied that it might be better to wait. I wasn't completely sure why, though I was starting to have an idea as my body reacted
