Kendra’s eyes flicker up to meet mine after she looks at his hold on her. A look of concern or guilt? Something crosses her face that I do not like. Xoth’s hand tenses on her hip, and then he leans down to say something to her. I want to know what it is, and I almost stand from my chair to walk over and ask them what they are being so secretive about. Kendra’s body relaxes, and her face flushes again. And that is what keeps me in my seat.
“Well, you did win.” She turns her face up to Xoth’s, and he softens his hold on her so she can turn her body to face him. His hand is back on her hip, back to holding her as soon as she fully turns. He says something else I cannot make out, and his hand tenses on her hip so much it pulls the hem up her legs a bit. My cock is jealous, but my mind reminds me that Xoth is the male I share her with. “I’d like that.” Kendra’s voice sounds breathier, more sultry as she speaks to my brother.
“You good?” Diane walks over to where Xoth and Kendra are standing. I should have been paying attention, ensuring no one interrupted them, but I was too caught up in what was happening.
“Yeah.” Kendra turns to face her sister for a moment. She turns her face up to Xoth. “You can show me to my sister’s home later?”
“Of course,” He nods and then addresses Diane. “Your sister is safe with me.”
Diane shakes her head but walks away from them and stands with Almaac and me. Her eyes drop to mine, and she gives me a slight frown. I return it with a bright smile. Xoth is showing Kendra out of the great hall, and I want to follow them, but that will set a terrible example for the other brothers.
“You don’t seem too upset?” Diane leans against her mate, and he wraps his arms around her.
“No reason to be upset,” I shrug. Xoth might touch and ogle her tonight, but he will not mate with her. Even if he wants to, the human female has not been in our world long enough for any of us to mate with her. I also hope that when she decides to swallow Xoth’s seed, they will allow me to watch because I will very much enjoy that. “My Kendra will know who her mates are soon enough.”
“Mates?” Almaac chokes on the word, but Diane seems to already know this. I do not understand why Almaac would be so surprised since he is the second mate to his Diane. Maybe he is just confused that I am willing to share my female when it is me who is happy she is willing to share herself with me.
So, instead of answering or asking any questions. I grab my chair and return it to the rows of tables. I will sit and talk with my brothers, and when Xoth returns from bathing with our mate, I will force him to our room so he can tell me everything.
Kendra
I’madjustingprettywell,considering I’m being guided to some outdoor bathing pool by a seven-foot-tall demon alien man. Diane asked me if I wanted to play the games they had meant to play when she arrived, and I immediately said yes. First, I love games, and second, Diane told me I don’t have anything to fear with the males. She was here for an entire month before me and said the only one who bothered her was Erkoz, and that was only because he was trying to get her and Almaac together when they were being idiots.
“Almaac’s sister does not need to entertain me if she would rather be with another male,” The demon walking me to the bathing pool breaks the silence surrounding us. His scales are a dusty red color, like the clay in the lakes down south where our extended family lived when the Earth wasn’t falling apart. It’s a stark difference from the almost black scales Erkoz has. Yes, I’m thinking about the annoying demon when I’m supposed to be paying attention to the sweet and shy one currently taking me to the bathing pool.
I turn my gaze up to the demon walking with me. He hasn’t told me his name yet, but I’m sure that’ll change before we’re done for the night. He’s a sweet man, or at least he’s acting like it now. He didn’t hesitate to tell my sister and me apart during the game, and I like that.
When he stood behind me the last time, I found myself leaning against him without realizing it. The feel of his body sent a shiver down my spine, but that also had my stomach flipping. My eyes were still latched onto Erkoz’s because, as annoying as he is, I kind of like him. I can’t ignore the zing of electricity between me and this other demon, though.
Earlier, when I was worried about touching him in front of Erkoz, he leaned down and told me Erkoz wanted him to win, and that made me feel better about taking him to the bathing pools. I can’t help thinking about both of them being out here with me, not just the one who won.
“What’s your name?” I ignore his statement. How do I tell him I want to be there with him without sounding a little clingy? Not that these men seem to mind that. From what I remember, my sister is a grade-A clinger, and her demon looks at her like she’s the most amazing woman ever.
“Xoth,” The demon rubs the top of his head. He doesn’t have horns like the other demons. Most of them have ones that curl down around the sides of their heads like Erkoz or ones that twist upward in spirals. Xoth’s are flat against the top of his head, but the texture is jagged. He notices me staring at them and drops his hand quickly. “I can get a different brother for you if you want.”
My nose scrunches up, and my lips press tightly together. Okay, one of the demons I kind of like has some self-esteem issues. “No, Xoth. You won fair and square.”
Xoth’s eyes flash for a moment when I say his name. I chew on my bottom lip while waiting for him to mention it. Diane told me it signals to the males that I’m willing to fuck them, which I’m not ready for that yet, but I love flirting. Plus, Xoth doesn’t seem like the type who will throw me over his shoulder and take me to bed right now. Erkoz, I need to be more careful about saying his name because he most definitely will do that.
“I do not expect Almaac’s sister to bed me just because she says my name.” Xoth turns his attention ahead of us, but I can see his eyes moving to glance down at me as we walk. I don’t take my eyes off him. It’s too entertaining to catch him noticing me because his body stiffens slightly like he’s embarrassed.
“You can say my name.”
Xoth falters for a moment, but I keep walking like I haven’t noticed. “You would not mind?”
“Why would I?” I cock my head to the side and notice he’s completely ignoring my eyes now. Lucky for him, the bathing pool comes into view, and I run over to it. It’s a large pool that’s fed by a stream. I stand at the edge and poke my toe in to test the temperature. The water is warm, which tracks because of how hot the world is. I guess it makes sense, considering the creatures that live here seem to be lizard people.
“Do you care if I strip?” I ask Xoth, who’s standing a few feet away from me. When I turn to face him, he quickly averts his eyes like he wasn’t trying to stare a hole in me not moments before.
“No, of course,” His voice carries more of a lisp as the words strain from his mouth. “I can turn.”
I laugh long and hard at what he’s saying. Did I somehow get the most polite demon out of the whole bunch? “That’s not much of a prize.”
“Being with you is more than enough of a prize,” Xoth answers without hesitation.
Yeah, he’s way too sweet. “Take off your clothes, Xoth.”
A hiss erupts from his lips, which has me suppressing another laugh. I might think he’s mad at me if I hadn’t heard the same sound from Erkoz when I was trying to mess with him during the first game. Xoth doesn’t make any move to remove his clothing, though, so I wonder if I’m pushing him too fast. Maybe he’s not even into me like that, but he’s turned on because I’m the first female to show him attention. Maybe I need to be slower with him if he’s so self-conscious and inexperienced.
