“And what would that be?” Crimson asked as she relaxed. She sat up, her sparkling green eyes staring at him with a challenge.

  Teclis couldn’t help himself; he smirked at her sassiness. “Perhaps, if you do not wish for another male to be in your life permanently, you might just allow Coil and I to help you through your mating heat. Once that is over and you can manage without our energy, then we will walk away.”

  Teclis ignored the glare Coil threw at him. Tec wished he could talk with Coil about his idea, but that wasn’t so. He’d had to speak before Crimson went through any more mating heat on her own. From what he’d read and heard, the females’ mating heat didn’t so much hurt them as in pain, like breaking a bone, it was more like an intense, sexual aching that grew worse. Probably just as intense as his cock and balls right now.

  During the brief few hilns they had all spent together, Teclis had noticed that his energy was spiking to a dangerous level. If he didn’t get to pass some onto either of his mates soon, he’d be in trouble.

  “You would leave me alone after?”

  “If that is what you need or wish for, yes.”

  Coil looked ready to pounce on Tec and beat him to a pulp. Teclis wished he could convey why he’d offered Crimson this compromise. He hoped with everything inside of him that once Crimson saw how well he and Coil would care, love, and adore her, she would want to stay with them.

  “I think that’s an excellent idea,” Hover said, smiling. “Once your mating heat is over, you can return to see me and I will keep an eye on you. And as for you two warriors, you will also have to keep an eye on your energy levels. But with your relationship being as it is, I don’t foresee any problems.”

  “Hey, what now?” Crimson asked, looking between Teclis, Coil, and Hover.

  “Umm…” Hover suddenly seemed lost for words for a moment. “Amelia explained to you earlier about the Gracian females and how they rely on their mates for their energy.”

  “Yeah, she said that the males created more energy after they found each other, and he passes it on to her and their baby when they have one. Well, until the boy reaches twelve or the girl finds her mate. But what does that have to do with these two?” Crimson asked.

  “Well, normally, if a male goes without expelling his energy for a certain time, he will flare.”

  Annoyance and impatience crossed Crimson’s beautiful features. “Yes, Amelia said you end up a ball of energy and die. But you made it sound as if these two would be all right, even though they found m… Ohh.” Crimson’s eyebrows rose, and her mouth dropped open. “You two are gay.”

  Teclis had researched human relationships. It had been one of the first things he had done. Two men having sex wasn’t something new to these humans. In fact, some same-sex couples fully shared their status around others.

  Crimson frowned. “My life is turning out to be like one of those books I read.” She snorted. “Perhaps I should start writing this shit down. I could end up a best-selling author.”

  Coil, Hover, and Tec shared a look. Teclis had so many damn questions he had no idea where to start. But before he even had the chance to open his mouth, Crimson groaned and again laid down and curled into a ball. Coil moved forward, placing a hand on her back. Crimson moaned louder. Teclis glared at Hover, mentally urging the medic to help his spark.

  “Okay, I’ve had enough,” Crimson mumbled in another low moan. “If I sleep with you guys, this mating heat thing will go away, right?”

  “Yes,” Teclis said, taking a step toward Crimson and placing a hand on her arm. His energy crackled beneath his skin as if it knew he was standing so close to both of his mates.

  “Then take me to a damn bed big enough for all of us and make this go away.”

  “But Crimson,” Hover interjected.

  “No buts!” Crimson sat up. “I can’t stand feeling like this anymore. It’s beginning to hurt. I want…” She blushed and glanced warily between Teclis and Coil before her gaze landed once more on Hover. “Sex. I need it.” She turned her eyes back onto Coil. “Are you going to take me to bed or not? Because otherwise, find me a heavy-duty fucking vibrator with long-life batteries and I’ll take care of this myself.”

  Without another word, Teclis had their spark in his arms and was moving toward the medical bay doors. He wasn’t going to miss out on this chance. He felt Coil follow closely behind him.

  “Warriors,” Hover said, halting them. Both he and Coil turned to face the medic. “I cannot guarantee your relationship will be enough for your energy if this doesn’t work out with your…Crimson.”

  Teclis could hear what Hover was saying silently. Once they aided Crimson through her mating heat, if she was to deny them afterward, he and Coil’s energy might keep building, even if they were to share. Teclis glanced at Coil, and without a word, he saw the answer in his lover’s eyes. It didn’t matter. This time between them all would count if needed. Teclis nodded his understanding to the medic.

  Hover slapped a hand over his chest and uttered, “Potest solum unum.”

  Teclis turned and walked through the open medical bay door toward he and Coil’s cabin, wondering how long it would take Hover to realize what he’d said. Teclis and Coil didn’t just have one spark, they had two.

  The beeping sound of his comm halted Teclis a moment. Pressing the button on his new comm, he answered more abruptly than he intended to. “Teclis here.”

  “Hi, Tec,” Amelia replied, her voice coming through the device in his ear. “Hover just informed Trian you are taking Crimson to your cabin.”

  “Yes, we have Crimson’s approval to do so.” Teclis frowned as he answered, sensing there may be a problem. Coil looked at him with question.

  “Hey, why have we stopped, and who are you talking to?” Crimson asked.

  Teclis gazed down at his mate and softened his features. “I’m speaking to Amelia. She’s asking if we’re taking you to our cabin.”

  “Oh. Okay. Then tell her yeah, I agree. I’m getting fed up of feeling like a dog in heat.”

  Teclis heard Amelia chuckle in his comm.

  “Yeah, I remember that feeling. Only don’t tell her it doesn’t go away totally, because every time you see your mate she will want you bad. But she will learn.” She chuckled again.

  Teclis was pleased to know this piece of information. It might help Crimson decide to stay with him and Coil. He was also chuffed that Crimson couldn’t hear what Amelia had said. That would be his secret for now.

  “Anyway, I comm’d you because you and Coil are in the single-bed cabins, right?”

  “Yes.” Teclis was even more confused now. What did that have to do with him, Crimson, and Coil?

  “Well, being it will be a very tight squeeze, Trian has had Koop upgrade your cabin to one on the officer’s deck.”

  It was then Teclis realized that the three would not have fit into one of the single beds. He’d been too intent on getting to know Crimson in and out to even think about that.

  After Amelia informed him which cabin they had been given, Teclis headed toward the elevator, telling both Crimson and Coil the news.

  “We can have you between us, little spark.” Teclis grinned down at Crimson.

  “If it stops this incessant horniness, then I’ll take it.”

  Stepping into the elevator, Teclis took a chance. He’d been staring at her plump lips on and off since leaving the medical bay, wondering what she would taste like. Lowering his head, he slanted his lips over hers and kissed her with every pain-filled urge he’d felt since the first time he’d seen her.

  He felt immense relief when she tucked her arms around his neck and kissed him back. She opened her mouth, allowing his tongue entrance. He closed his eyes and moaned around her tongue when her taste flooded his mouth.

  Frinx! He knew he had to stop or they weren’t going to make it to the cabin. His hard shaft twitched painfully in his uniform.

  Coil cleared his throat, reminding them they were in an elevator.

  “Oh boy! I am definitely in a world of shit!” Crimson sighed, staring into his eyes.

  Teclis frowned. “I think by the tone of your voice that is a good thing, but anyone in a world of excrement isn’t a good thing.”

  Crimson chuckled. “Amelia is right, you guys do take things literally.”

  Teclis glanced at Coil and saw the same confusion he felt.

  “What I meant was…if you keep kissing me like that, it will be hard to say goodbye.”

  Teclis shared a smiled with Coil. “Then we will have to keep kissing you,” he said with a wider smile toward Crimson. “And more.” He wiggled his eyebrows. Crimson blushed.

  The elevator door opened, breaking the moment.

  “I can’t wait to kiss her, you fortunate frinx,” Coil mumbled as they walked down the corridor toward their new quarters.

  When they reached the door to the cabin Crimson suddenly cried out and tried to curl up in Teclis’s arms. He again lowered his head and kissed her sweet mouth, collecting her whimpers and trying to take her mind off her mating heat. She responded quickly and passionately. She sat up in his arms, wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist, and began rubbing herself on the groin of his uniform. She wound her small fingers into his hair and tugged him closer.

  Somewhere in the distance he heard the cabin door open. He hadn’t even realized they had stepped into the cabin until he heard the door shut behind him and Crimson was ripped out of his arms—even with the hold they had on each other. He opened his eyes to see Crimson now firmly wrapped around Coil’s body, the two of them kissing. He laughed and followed the pair toward a room he hoped was the bedroom.

  Chapter 7

  Coil’s tongue rubbed along Crimson’s, his spicy and manly taste flooding her senses. It was almost the same as Teclis, only Tec’s taste seemed a little darker, stronger. Kissing the men had Crimson’s body feeling like it was on fire, and her skin seemed too tight. Coil entwined his fingers into her hair and tugged as she pulled his. He groaned, his tongue vibrating along hers.

  He was driving her crazy. Her panties were damp and her nipples hard like diamonds; she could feel them pressing against the lacy material of the Gracian dress she was wearing. The dress itself was rubbing against her sensitive skin and causing her to grow more irritated.

  She pulled back from Coil, but not enough to dislodge herself from his body. “Dress, off,” she said, trying to tug the gown she was wearing off her body. The more she tugged, the more it seemed to cling to her. Frustration had her crying out.

  “Steady on there,” Teclis cooed next to her.

  “I don’t want to calm down. Just help me get this damn dress off. Please,” she begged.

  Coil lowered her to her feet, and his large, strong hands rose from cupping her butt up to her waist. She gazed into his burgundy eyes. They were swirling so fast she could hardly see the burgundy in them anymore. She glanced behind Coil to Teclis to see his eyes were swirling just as fast.

  “Let’s help her with the dress, Coil,” Teclis said.

  Coil slid a hand under her left armpit and did something to the material, causing it to fall open. Crimson stepped back as the men pulled the dress from her body. Finally, naked and feeling free with the cool air around her giving her some relief, Crimson looked around to see the biggest bed she’d ever seen. Stepping toward it, she turned to see two stunned and immobile warriors—apart from their swirling, lust-filled eyes—gaze over her. Their look was because of her. During her entire marriage Luke had never gazed at her like these two men did. She stood before these Gracian warriors wearing nothing except a tiny, pink pair of lacy panties.

  Crimson suddenly frowned at the questions that popped into her mind after realizing they weren’t her panties. Had she been found in clothes? If so, where were they? And who had dressed her? All questions disappeared quickly though seeing the males’ eyes looking up and over her body. Her first instinct was to cover her breasts, but the little devil in her mind said fuck it, let them see.

  “What?” she asked with a smirk. Then she did something she’d never done before with Luke. She always struggled to get herself wet enough for him to fuck her without hurting. Crimson jumped up onto the end of the bed and lay down on her back, bent her knees, and allowed them to fall apart, knowing she was revealing some rather wet panties to the men. “These have to come off too.”

  Both Teclis and Coil stood frozen, their gazes directed exactly where she’d planned. Niggling doubts crossed her mind until suddenly Teclis started to rip his uniform from his body to reveal gorgeous, tanned skin from head to toe and muscles that bulged in places that left her mouth watering. Her eyes strayed slowly over him, to his very defined six-pack that tapered off to the deep v that pointed down toward his groin where his huge, thick cock stood proud and erect. Shit! He was huge.

  There was no doubt in her mind now that he wanted her. She quickly gazed toward Coil who was now also naked. His body was very much built the same way as Teclis’s, only he wasn’t as big and muscular. She gazed longingly at his shaft, which was erect, long and slender and already dripping in pre-cum.

  Teclis knelt on the bed. Delight made her pant as he touched her shin. He ran his hand up her leg, over her inner thigh, and toward the one place she wanted so badly to be filled. Coil knelt on the other side of her and echoed Teclis’s touch. The simple feel of their hands on her skin set every nerve and cell in her body dancing. Their caressing hands raised goose bumps along her skin, making her shiver with delight. She quivered in excitement but also expectation, knowing sex was inevitable as long as she wanted it. And she did desire it, with more passion than she had ever experienced in the past.

  “Are you clean?” she panted out.

  “Clean?” Coil asked. Crimson couldn’t believe her eyes when the man sniffed himself. “We have been with you all day, me unum, we have not had time to shower yet.”

  “No, you dumbarse.” Teclis chuckled, stopping his hands from creeping closer to her wet, heated core. “She means do we carry disease. Human males wear those baggie things on their cocks to stop disease and pregnancies.”

  “But we don’t carry disease.”

  “Well, I know that, but she doesn’t.”

  Crimson could hear the duh in Tec’s tone. Really? They were talking about this now? With her lying there wanting them? She cleared her throat, stopping Teclis from explaining condoms to Coil. Two pairs of eyes sought hers out.

  “We are clean, Crimson,” Teclis said, sliding his hand a little bit farther up her thigh, his finger roaming within an inch of her heated pussy. “Gracians don’t carry sexual diseases, and as for pregnancy, we don’t use condoms to stop it. We are a species that want to procreate, not halt it.”

  “Don’t worry about that.” Crimson shrugged. “I have an implant. Luke made sure it was always up-to-date. He didn’t want children interfering with his perfect life.”

  The thought of Luke was like a splash of cold water, but it didn’t last more than a second or two as another wave of mating heat washed it away.

  “Oh God! Do something,” she begged as her body once again screamed out for sex. She delved her hand between her legs, touching the one part of her body that thrummed with her intense heartbeat. These men were taking too damn long to do anything.

  Teclis brushed her hand aside. “Oh no, you don’t. Let us help you, me unum.” He glanced at Coil. “I’ll top, you bottom.”

  Before Crimson had time to wonder about his words, Teclis bent and ran his tongue around her right stiff nipple. His hand moved up over her stomach and to her left breast. He cupped it then molded it between his fingers. Coil settled between her legs and pulled the thin material of her panties away from her body. His mouth was on her partially shaved pussy before the ripped material fell to the floor. Teclis sucked the nipple into his mouth, and the gentle tug he produced ran straight through her body and to that small, throbbing, engorged bundle of nerves that Coil was drawing into his mouth.

  The explosive, half-expected climax they produced between them rocked Crimson. Lights flashed behind her closed eyes, her body bowed with delight, and a scream peeled from between her lips that she didn’t recognize as hers. Never before had she felt such an intense feeling. It left her trembling and wanting more.

  “I want to see and hear you come again, Crimson. You are a sight to lay my eyes upon.” Teclis hummed, his mouth moving to her other breast.

  Crimson’s body vibrated with underlying sexual energy. Her legs felt like jelly. She was sure if she’d been standing up, she wouldn’t have remained that way for long. Teclis squeezed her breast and sucked it into his mouth, causing another explosive feeling to rush through her body and straight down to her now very sensitive and quivering core. The more he sucked and pulled on her nipple, the more intense feeling he created.

  Coil slipped a finger into her pussy, then another and another. Three fingers pumped in and out of her. Another orgasm built deep in her womb, and her moans grew in intensity. Never in the years she’d had sex had she before heard herself make such noise. Crimson hadn’t ever felt so…so…wanton, so free to enjoy sex. They hadn’t even entered her with their cocks. They’d only used their mouths and fingers so far.

  Another climax rocked her body, leaving her again panting and her limbs feeling limp and shaky. One word circled in her brain. Wow!

  * * * *

  The look of satisfaction on Crimson’s features pleased Teclis. Her eyes were closed, but her lips were raised in a smile, and her cheeks were flushed. He turned his eyes toward Coil who lifted his head, smiled, and wiped his mouth.

  “She tastes divine.” Coil smirked, his face the picture of enjoyment.

  It made Teclis’s cock twitch in anticipation. Ever since sucking Coil to completion on the island, his energy had boiled just underneath his skin. It grew to intense proportions seeing Crimson in the healing tank and not being able to touch her. He hadn’t even known she was his then, but the draw to her had been great. He’d thought it was because he was so close to Coil and she was his. But seeing Coil and Crimson together gave Teclis the heart-filling emotion of completion. He wanted to slide down the bed and clasp his fingers around Coil’s shaft and see his lover buck in his hands while Tec licked Crimson’s slit, but he wasn’t sure how Crimson might take it, so he held himself back.
