“You. Stars. Rhysan. Love.” He pants a few times. “This.”
I hook a leg over his side and nuzzle into his neck. “I always wished my life could be better. I definitely never dreamed of Shifters and space battles and a pack. But there’s nothing else I want more than to stay right here with you forever.”
43: Tessi
When Rhysan has eaten and played himself to sleep, Radar curls up with him by the fake fire place in our new residence on the ship Viriden has given to the Aegeris pack. Azrim is out on patrol, getting acquainted with his new command post while Zorin takes another nap in our room. Azrim should be back soon, so I’ve been prepping our first meal together as a family.
I wash out Rhysan’s bottle at the sink so it will be ready for the next meal when Zorin walks in the door. I glance in the direction of the bedroom and then back at him. “Where have you been? And how did you sneak out?”
He hooks a thumb over his shoulder, sees me in just my clothes, no armor, and abandons whatever he was going to say. He eases in behind me, runs his warm hands over my sides, and kisses my neck. “Your clothes are so thin.”
Zorin slips a hand between my thighs and curls his fingers over my mound. “I can feeleverything.”
He pushes up my shirt, snakes his hands inside my bra and massages a breast as he nips at my ear. His erection digs into my backside, and I’m soon dripping in anticipation.
He tears his shirt off, unbuckles his pants, and draws the elastic band of mine over my hips. His fingers glide lower until they dip into my wetness. Zorin pants. “So hot. So…ready.”
He crushes me back against him, peels my shirt off and unhooks my bra so I am bare and exposed to him. Zorin’s tip is searing as he massages it over my opening, teasing me.
I arch and wiggle my hips, desperate to have him push inside me and ease my growing need. Zorin bends me forward, guides my hands to the edges of the counter, and feeds his engorged shaft into me.
The door hisses open. Footsteps walk into the foyer.
Azrim stops when he sees us. Embarrassment flushes my skin.
I know it’s him by his boots and his stance, but also by the way he carries the scent of the forests, of warm woods and fresh leaves.
Zorin breathes out. “Shit.”
Azrim looks down at me while my bare ass is pressed to his brother’s hips, and Zorin’s shaft is buried in me. My skin is covered in goosebumps from the rush of Zorin’s bonding. Azrim does not miss noticing my breasts or the tightness in my nipples.
The crotch of his pants swell. Azrim likes what he sees.
“Tell me you are going to claim her properly this time. There are a lot of Shifters on this ship, brother. You must do it at the perfect time.” Azrim is casual about the way he walks up to us like it doesn’t make him uncomfortable at all.
“You need to slow down, brother,” Azrim adds. “Get her to her climax before you bite her. She must be right there for your teeth to mark her correctly…thoroughly.”
The idea of Zorin claiming me like an animal makes my pussy tense.
Zorin grunts and grabs my hips. “Don’t do that, Tessi.”
“I can’t help it,” I rasp.
Azrim lifts my chin and studies my eyes. “She needs time to enjoy your bond. You must give it to her. Slow your breathing, Zorin. We’re not fucking rabbits.”
“It’s only my second time,” Zorin breathlessly protests. “I haven’t gotten used to it yet. I’m… I can’t hold it back.”
Azrim runs a rough hand over my neck and down my bare back. He hums a low note. “She is tense, brother. A lot has changed. Did you pleasure her first or just get to business?”
Zorin makes a disgruntled noise.
“That’s what I thought. You always plan so well… But your mating technique needs work.” Azrim shifts in beside my head and slides his hands around my body to my breasts, where he massages them.
His hands are warm and callused andstrong. My breathing quickens as Azrim pinches and flicks at my nipples like he knows exactly what to do.
“Fuck,” I mutter, hanging my head. His touch makes me tense around Zorin. Azrim’s contact and Zorin’s at the same time shares their emotions through me like hot waves.
Azrim wants me.
