Originally published as part of the "Wickedly Exotic Spring Erotic Wonderland" Anthology, Subtle Magic by Josette Reuel is an erotic ménage short story about a woman who finds she was always just as she was supposed to be.

—

Growing up different had made life difficult for Harley Hawen, a Rhai'ud without magic; she had buried herself in her cooking and baking. That is until six months ago when a group of men on motorcycles rolled into town and Harley's dreams became tormented.

Chase and Diesel were Gwar'Arth — bear shifters — who came to Karhu Ridge to start a new den. As two-thirds of a triad mating, they have just found their third in Harley. For six months the woman tormented them and did everything to keep away from them, but they have had enough. She would realize that they were all meant to be together, if it was the last thing both Gwar'Arth men did.

Magic has a subtle way of making things happen.
