“Where do you want us?”Severin’svoice was careful and he was standing in the doorway with his eyebrows raised questioningly.
“Cassie needs us—we need to be with her,”Raviksaid at once.
“Yes,Iwant you both with me—holding me together,”Cassiesaid, answering them both at once.“Butfirst—rules.”
“Rules?”Ravikfrowned.“Alwaysrules.”
“Because it’sCassie’sbody and so it’s her choice and her rules,”Severintold him, frowning.“Listenand she’ll tell us what she needs us to do.”
“First of all,I’mgoing to get naked,”Cassiesaid.Therewas no point beating around the bush, she thought—she needed to get everything out in the open before she exploded.Andthat wasn’t an exaggeration—the need inside her actually felt like it was reaching some kind of critical mass and she knew she needed to do something about itsoon.
Racvik’s golden eyes lit up.
“Cassie gets naked,” he rumbled.
“Yes, but you two don’t.Youcan take off your shirts but leave your trousers on,” she ordered.
“Agreed,”Severinsaid and began taking off his shirt.
Ravik did the same, though he still looked disappointed.
“I want to be naked withCassie,” he grumbled as he pulled off his shirt.
“You were this morning and we all know how that turned out,” she said.“Ican’t risk that again—the three of us are not having sex tonight.”
“If we’re not having sex, then what are we doing?”Severinasked.Hespread his hands.“Ijust need to know.”
“Just some naked cuddling for now,”Cassietold him.“Ijust…Ineed you to touch me—both of you.Earlierit made the need worse but now the need is so bad,Ithink it might make things better.”Sheshook her head.“God, does that even make any sense?”
“It makes perfect sense,” theBloodKindredassured her.“Yourviral load has increased significantly since this morning.Soit’s not surprising that you’re in need of pleasure and physical intimacy now—that’s the path the virus has chosen for you.Infact…”
But he trailed off just asCassiewas pulling the red nighty over her head.Whenshe looked up, she saw that both he andRavikwere just staring at her, their eyes gone heavy-lidded and their breathing shallow.
She had an impulse to cover herself…but then decided not to.Yes, she was probably too curvy and she definitely wasn’t young anymore but this was her body—stretch marks, extra curves, and all.And—to be fair—from the way they were looking at her, neither of them seemed to mind.Also, both of them had seen her naked yesterday in both the decontamination room and the bath.
“Gods,”Severinsaid at last.“Inever thoughtI’dbe allowed to touch aMatureEliteintimately.”
Ravik was more direct.
“Cassie is beautiful—Iwant to hold her,” he rumbled.
“Come hold me then—both of you.”Cassieheld out her arms for them and both males climbed onto the bed.
She ended up in a sandwich with them—the same way they’d slept the night before exceptSeverinwas facing her this time whileRavikspooned her from behind.Shecould feel both long, hard shafts pressing against her back and her belly but she didn’t care.Theirwarmth and the mingled scents—leather, smoke, and spice mixed with icy wind and ocean breezes—filled her senses in a way that felt both healing and stimulating.
Having contact with the warm skin of their bare chests helped, butCassiecouldn’t help feeling like she needed more.
“More!”she begged.“Holdme tight between you!”
Obligingly, both warriors put their arms around each other with her in the middle and squeezed.
Cassie should have felt claustrophobic—instead it was just what she needed…sort of.Itfelt incredible to be held so closely between the two big male bodies but her own body was still crying out formore.
“Please…”Shewiggled between them andSeverinlooked down at her, his face filled with concern.
“What is it, sweetheart?”he asked.“Whatelse can we do for you?”
“I still feel…Istill need…Idon’t know whatIneed,” she exclaimed, her voice coming out hoarse with the sexual frustration she was feeling.
