“Oh, of course—sorry.”Severinnodded.
“I still need to make you feel better,”Ravikinsisted.
“Well…you could, uh, take your fingers out for one thing.”
She was blushing as she said it—apparently she still hadsomemodesty left.
Ravik looked down to where two of his thick fingers were still buried in her pussy.
“Oh…sorry,” he said apologetically and pulled them out.Hestarted to raise them to his lips whenSeverincaught his hand again.
“MayI?”he asked and his pale blue eyes were half-lidded again,Cassiesaw.
Ravik seemed to take a moment to understand, then he nodded.
Without a word,Severinsucked his friend’s fingers deeply into his mouth for a long moment.
Cassie watched the twoKindred, her heart pounding.Severinhad told her earlier that he andRavikdidn’t love each other “that way.”Butshe’d never seen two platonic friends do anything like this and it certainly seemed to be…something.
TheBloodKindred’seyes closed as though he was savoring her honey and then, finally, he releasedRavik’sfingers.
“Gods, she tastes so sweet.”Hisvoice was hoarse as he looked atCassieagain.
“Her pussy is tight and hot,”Ravikrumbled, as though making a report to his friend.“Andverywet.”
“Yes,Ican see that.”Severin’seyes lingered on the place between her legs andCassiewas embarrassed to see that her inner thighs were shiny with her juices.
Biting her lip, she closed her legs firmly.
“All right, boys—show’s over,” she told them.
Both of the bigKindredlooked disappointed, but neither tried to stop her.
“Sorry if we made you uncomfortable,”Severinsaid.“You’rejust so beautiful.Thankyou for letting us touch you…and for lettingRaviktaste your juices.”
“You’re welcome…Iguess.Imean,I’venever had a guy thank me for that kind of thing before.”Sskarthcertainly hadn’t, anyway.
She could feel her cheeks heating with a blush as she tugged at her nighty.Can’tbelieveIdid that,she thought as she smoothed the red silk over her thighs.Can’tbelieveIlet them touch me that way.
Yet, though she knew she probably ought to feel guilty, she really didn’t.Afterall, she’dhadto do it for science and it really seemed to have worked.Ravikwas no longer talking about himself in third person and he seemed more and more aware of everything and everyone around him.
It was only one time,she told herself as she settled back in the bed between them.It’llnever happen again.
She had no idea how wrong she was…or what had been started between the three of them there in the bunker that night.

SEVERIN
Severin waited untilRavikandCassandrawere both asleep before slipping out of the bed and going to the bunker’s small fresher.Oncethere, he pulled down his sleep trousers and gripped his shaft in one hand.
Closing his eyes tightly, he let the memories wash over him—the sight ofCassandraarching and moaning asRavikfucked her with his fingers.Theway her nipples had gotten so hard for him as he sucked them and the sweet, feminine scent of her desire permeating the air.
Gods, he’d never wanted it to stop!Butwatching her come apart had been the ultimate pleasure.Ithad been so long since he’d watched a woman come…and even longer since he’d shared a woman with his partner.
He couldn’t help remembering that drunken night again—though he was sureRavikhad been drunker than he was.Theway theTheramitewoman who had wanted to take them both on at once had cried out when they’d shared her…begging to feel both of them in her at the same time…
Severin relived the whole incident as he stroked himself—only in his imagination theTheramitewoman woreCassandra’sface and had her luscious curves and sweet scent…
