Tyran and Braxon nodded, the gestures perfectly in synch.
“Of course!” Braxon said.
“Whatever our little warrior needs,” Tyran agreed.
Phaedra’s brow furrowed, but her lips curved up in a tiny smile at the same time. “What your mahaya needs is for her mates to stop treating her like she’s a tiskalian ice orchid. I won’t shatter in a stiff breeze for fraxx’s sake.”
Sulat and Tariq shared a look that made both of them chuckle. Then Sulat spoke, “As healers, our advice is to be patient with the process.”
Tariq nodded and then added, “And as two males who have been through this situation ourselves, our advice is to listen to your mahaya. She will let you know what she needs. Hovering over her like a broody gharshtu isn’t healthy…” He looked at the prince and then Braxon. “For the two of you. Pregnant females can be dangerous when irked.”
“But…” Tyran spoke first.
“She needs us,” Braxon finished.
Phaedra huffed out a frustrated breath. “I’m dangerous when irked. Remember? Listen to the healers. They are wise.”
The princess winked at Jody. “If they don’t behave, could you leave a few vials of tranquilizer around? You know—for my mental health?”
“I’ll consider it.” She grinned and winked back. “But for now, my instructions are for you to get some rest. I am also prescribing a soothing shower and a foot rub. By the time you finish the first two, your body should have ended the practice session, and you’ll be ready to sleep.”
“I’ll take care of her,” Braxon stated with solemn intent.
“And I will escort you outside. If anyone asks, I was suffering from insomnia and stress because of current circumstances.” Tyran bent down to press a tender kiss to the crown of Phaedra’s mass of bright pink curls. “It pains me to be away from my mate and our unborn child.”
Braxon pointedly cleared his throat.
“Oh, and my anrik, too.” Tyran smiled and reached down to Braxon, drawing the other male to his feet. The two of them embraced and exchanged a brief but fiery kiss that seemed to raise the temperature of the room several degrees.
“Of course, my prince. We’ll make sure the explanation reaches the right ears.”
Tariq gathered up the few items of medical equipment they’d used to do the scans and put them away while Jody gave the threesome a few more instructions and plenty of encouragement. The last few weeks of a pregnancy seemed to be the most difficult, especially for first-time parents. From now until the child was born, she expected a steady increase in calls, questions, and reassurances.
It was one of her favorite aspects of the job, and judging by the smiles on Sulat and Tariq’s faces, it was something they enjoyed, too.
It was a good way to end the evening. Not that her day was over. Jody already knew she’d spend the night going over everything, wondering what she could have done better, and preparing for what she’d do next.

Sleep didn’t come easily for Sulat. He tossed and turned for hours, his mind caught in a loop as he reviewed the evening’s events over and over again.
When he did fall asleep, his dreaming mind diverged from reality, creating a fantasy so perfect a part of him knew it was a dream even as he let it unfold.
That brief kiss he’d stolen from her had only been the first. Instead of going to check on their patient, he’d flown her back to his home. Then he’d taken her in his arms under the star-strewn sky.
Yes. More.
Their clothes melted away, and he reveled at having her naked in his arms. He claimed her mouth with hard kisses fueled by hunger while she draped her arms around his neck. Her bare breasts were pressed to his chest as he plumbed the depths of her mouth with his tongue. She straddled his thigh, writhing as she ground her sex against him.
“Sulat. Please. I want you.” Her words inflamed him. They kissed again, and somehow, they were in bed together. His bed.
Jody lay beneath him with her legs around his waist, one hand reaching behind him to stroke the spot between his wings that always…Yes!
He drove himself into her, his cock buried to the hilt in the velvet heat of her pussy. One thrust, two, he was almost there.
He awoke with aching balls and a rock-hard cock.
Qarf! Even in his dreams he couldn’t have her.
