Hard and Easy [High-Country Shifters 5] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting)

Slowly Larek disengaged and dragged himself off the bed. Brin lifted her rear, and his cock popped out. She fell face-first on the bed. Totally exhausted, she’d never been happier in her life.
Her stomach grumbled, but right now the only way she could eat would be if they fed her.
Larek came back with a cloth, rolled her over, and cleaned her up.
Brin sat up. “You do know what this means?”
“Yes.” They were now legally bound. When all three profess their love and have a loving ménage relationship, they are husband and wife. “I would like to have a ceremony where all three sets of parents, as well as our friends, are in attendance to celebrate this union.”
“By all means. Would you like to make the arrangements or should we?”
“Knowing my mother, I think I’ll let her orchestrate it.”
Larek moved off the bed, picked up his loincloth, and put it on. “Anyone up for dinner?”
She debated asking them to feed her, but that certainly would lead to more sex, and right now her body had to adjust to loving these two well-endowed men. “Count me in.”

“Stand still.” Rein was fixing her hair, attempting to pile the heap of curls on top of her head.
“It’s fine.”
“It’s fine when I say it’s fine. Give me this little bit of pleasure and allow me to make you the most beautiful wife in the world.”
Madra giggled. “Wait until it’s your turn. I want to do the honors.”
“That won’t happen for years. My wanderlust is getting to me.”
“Why don’t you try to go to Spirit? I think you’d find it exciting. I’m sure you can find someone to escort you through the alignment point.”
She shrugged. “I probably could, but then they’d have to wait for the point to get on the ground to guide me back through. I don’t want to delay anyone.”
“You don’t have to. Sella’s husbands patrol the border, as do Malik and Cavon. I bet they’d help you return.”
“Hmm. I might try that. Have you ever been to Earth?” Excitement laced her tone.
She remembered Frania asking her to take the class. “No, but I’d like to.” To be able to access their libraries and learn about the Earth culture would be valuable. Her ability to teach would be so enhanced.
Rein placed a flower at her temple. “There. Perfect.”
They both walked into Brin and Larek’s living room, and the men whistled. “You look gorgeous.”
She was pleased they didn’t seem to mind that she wore a top. “Both of you are amazingly handsome, too.”
For the occasion, they wore slacks and a shirt, much like the Earth people did. All four linked arms and headed to her parents’ home. Since her dad worked from home, they lived on the outskirts. She’d met both of their parents and loved them all. Their accepting nature meant the world to her.
When they arrived, everyone was present, including Lara, Taryn, and Kellum. Since Henla would be rather large right now, Madra insisted she not come. While the house was small, everyone seemed to fit.
Her mother rushed around hugging her and her men. “Wait right here, and I’ll bring out the cake.”
Her mom loved to cook. A moment later she returned, carrying something that wasn’t quite recognizable. “What is it, Mom?”
She put the cake on the table and planted her hands on her hips. “It’s a cave. Can’t you tell?” It was in the shape of a semicircle. Red swirls decorated the top.
She pointed to the red stuff. “And this stuff would be what?”
“Those are the cave drawings. I had to guess what they look like since someone I know never invited me to view the dang thing.”
The whole room burst out laughing. “Don’t worry. I’ll be happy to take you there.”
“Good.”
Her dad banged his glass. “A toast to the newlyweds. May you have a long, happy life. May I add a word of advice?”
She couldn’t stop him if she tried. “Go right ahead.”
“Never go to bed angry.” The group chuckled. “Beds are made for loving.”
Her cheeks colored. “Da-ad.”
“What? You have sex.” He nodded to her belly. “When are we getting a grandchild?”
“When I know, I’ll let you know.”
In reality, she suspected she might already be carrying their first of many grandchildren. Her ultimate dream would be to teach her own children in her own school.
Larek stepped forward. “As is the tradition in my large family, it is time to announce where we are going for our wedding vacation.”
She thought they might take her to the mountains, as she loved to camp.
Her mom grinned. “Where?”
“We are taking our special lady to Earth.”
Madra’s knees weakened, and she planted a hand over her mouth. After a few deep inhales to keep the tears of joy at bay, she lowered her arm. “Really? That’s my dream.”
“We know, and we plan to give you your dream every day for the rest of your life.”
She glanced over at Lara and winked. Had her friend not uncovered the cave, she never would have found the loves of her life. Madra was incredibly happy, and her grin got even broader as she thought of how she could give that joy to others every day. What more could she ask for, as a teacher or a wife?
THE END
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Unlike most other authors, I started writing late in life. Writing stories in high school and college was not for me. Only after I graduated did I fall in love with romance novels. For the next twenty years, I read voraciously. It got to a point where my book-buying habits cost as much as my groceries. At that point, my husband suggested I write a book. Hey, it looked easy, right? All the stories started in the same spot (hero and heroine at odds) and ended the same way (happily ever after). Only it was anything but easy. Eleven years and fifteen completed romantic suspenses later, I finally published. I never would have gotten that far had it not been for two local chapters whose generous members shared their amazing wealth of knowledge.
