.I would have traveled across every known galaxy to find you.” Xan gripped him tightly, his rough fingers spanning his back.“And then battled death himself to bring you back.”Furu swallowed hard, his eyes pricking with tears he’d never admit to.“You’ve never…” His voice broke, the emotion unmanageable.“Our breeder tells me I should talk more,” Xan replied gruffly.“She is an unnatural creature.” He pressed his lips to Furu’s forehead.“She is,” Furu agreed.Skin slid against skin, the sound whisper soft, and the arousing aroma of female floated in the air.He rose up onto his toes and peered over Xan’s shoulder.Mirian averted her gaze, feigning interest in the dead drug addict’s corpse, her cheeks an enchanting shade of red and her slender form wonderfully naked.Sunrays raced across her heaving breasts, lighting fires in her dark hair.“Come here, Mirian.” Furu widened the circle of his arms.She ran into them, her curves smacking against his leaner form.Xan grunted his approval and draped his arm over her slight shoulders, tightening their physical connection, the three of them making one unit.“You’re alive,” Mirian mumbled against Furu’s skin.“I feared you’d be dead and I wouldn’t have survived another death.I couldn’t have.” Bone-deep tremors shook her body.“The pain would have been too great.”She would have felt pain if I had died.Furu petted Mirian’s damp curls, untangling the long strands.And Xan would have also mourned me.The big warrior’s fingers dug into his arm.No one else would have cared, certainly not my father.“I’m here, Mirian,” Furu reassured her, his voice husky with gratitude.“I’m alive.”“And he’ll remain alive,” Xan added.“I’ll set more traps, and in the morning, I’ll teach both of you how to defend yourselves.” He pulled them closer to his naked body.Both of us.Furu tilted his head back and stared at his warrior lover.Does he realize how much he cares for Mirian?Xan avoided his gaze.“I’m not losing either of you.” He rubbed their arms with his big hands, his touch distractingly rough, the contrast between his pale skin and Mirian’s golden tan enthralling.“You’re mine to protect and I will protect you,” he vowed.“We’ll protect you forever,” Furu confirmed.Because she’s ours now.He leaned into Xan’s hard form and played with Mirian’s hair, watching for any signs she regretted her decision.“We’ll never let you go.”Vines snaked around their ankles, linking the three of them.Steve’s leaves brushed against their legs, caressing their skin.“Steve might never let us go.” Mirian burrowed her body deeper between Xan and Furu, voluntarily becoming their center, their heart, her actions unfettered and reassuringly her own.She chooses us.Furu held onto Xan’s waist and Xan gripped Furu’s shoulders, their arms forming a protective cage around their tiny female.Mirian sighed quietly and she relaxed against them, her body supple and still and serene, her right palm flattened on Furu’s chest and her left hand reaching behind her to rest on Xan’s thigh.Our female.Our future.Furu met Xan’s gaze above Mirian’s dark head and smiled, his heart filled to bursting, a sense of rightness shrouding his soul.His lover’s lips curled upward, his expression soft and contented, at peace in this new world.Our home.* * * * *Mirian lay in the grass between Xan and Furu, stunned and excited and frightened, both magnificent males hers.Two males.Seductive warmth radiated from their bodies, the scent of musk and exotic spices clinging to the night breeze.Can I please two males?“You never see stars,” she babbled, gazing up at the black sky, filling the awkward silences with any words she could think of, her plan being to delay the inevitable for as long as she could.“The mist always covers the planet.” Xan’s thigh pressed against hers, his muscles flexing, and Mirian gulped, the sexual tension between the three of them intensifying.“That damn plant covers the planet,” Xan grumbled.Steve rustled his leaves, his trunk looming over them, his blooms turned downward, watching their movements [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
