She finally lifted herself off the table and grabbed her T-shirt. She was in the process of putting it back on when a deep telepathic growl from Luke had her freezing mid-motion. “Get your ass in here now,” he said with a grin in his voice.
She smiled, happy to sass him now that Declan had come home.
“Why? ” she asked sweetly.
“Because the fathers of your children demand it.” She giggled at Luke’s phrasing, well aware that neither of her men would demand more than she was willing to give. But the idea of having children with these men was way too tempting for her to deny them anything at this moment.
She headed into the bathroom, awkwardly stripping off her jeans as she went and then stepped into the shower with Luke. Declan finished shaving and joined them a moment later. Naked and held between her men was the most incredible sensation she could ever remember feeling. It was like coming home, finally having every piece of her life fit together perfectly.
She pressed kisses to Declan’s chest as Luke pressed against her back and kissed Declan over her shoulder.
* * * *
Declan could barely believe this was happening. Finding out about Sesturian mating links had been confusing, but learning that Keira and Luke shared one without him had been devastating.
He’d run from what had felt like his worst nightmare coming true, but the further he’d gotten away from his mates, the more intense his hunger for them had grown. If he’d known about the enzyme he might’ve understood what was happening to him this past week. He’d been terrified of the need that had built in him, blurring his thought processes, urging him to return to the two people he needed the most.
He shuddered as imagination filled in what might have happened if Luke hadn’t intervened. “Never,” Luke whispered into his mind. “I know that you would never have hurt Keira. It’s simply not who you are. No matter how intense the enzyme may have become you wouldn’t have let her be hurt. ”
“How can you be so sure?”
“Because you were already pulling away before I got there. I can see it in your memories, feel it in your emotions. You have no reason to doubt yourself, babe. You love me and Keira and would never do anything to hurt either of us.”
“I’m sorry I ran away. I really do love you, Luke,” he said, meaning it more sincerely than he ever had in his life. He was only now beginning to understand how amazing it had been for Luke to love him so wholeheartedly when it had seemed they would never be true Sesturian mates. But now that the link was in place he could feel and hear everything in Luke’s head and heart, and felt humbled to be loved by someone so incredible.
“Keira is incredible, too,” Luke said with a wide grin. Keira wriggled between them, her link to Declan starting to build even though he hadn’t bitten her yet. “And apparently,” Luke said with a mischievous grin, “very horny.”
She laughed as he tickled her, but then Luke did something that made her legs wobble and her eyes glaze with passion. “I missed you,” she said with a soft smile.
“I love you,” Declan said as he pulled her from the shower and turned to grab a towel. Luke was right behind them. Between the two of them, they toweled their Taydelaan dry, and Declan lifted her in his arms and carried her to the bedroom.
He lay her down in the middle of the bed, memories of their first time together swirling through him as she smiled and lifted her arms in invitation. He lay down beside her, willing just to hold her for the rest of their lives if that’s what she wanted. Fortunately, their beautiful Taydelaan had more lascivious ideas.
She rolled over and kissed him, framing his face with her warm hands as she used her tongue to explore the inside of his mouth. His hands roamed over her, relearning her curves, exploring her mind as the link grew stronger. And then Luke was there, too, stroking his hands over both of them, his relief that they were finally together and his love for them both shining brilliantly in his mind. And then the most precious of gifts slipped into his thoughts, and he realized that both of his mates would’ve loved him forever, even without the enzyme or the mating link. He could feel Keira’s happiness that he finally understood and maybe even a hint of annoyance from Luke that Declan had ever doubted his place in their lives.
But then Keira pushed him onto his back and straddled his thighs.
At the first touch of her wet pussy against the tip of his cock, all rational thought fled and he could only feel as sensation swamped his mind. She lowered onto him slowly, her legs shaking as she tried to control her need for him. Finally he was fully seated in her body, and they both released a sigh of contentment.
But desire grew quickly, and he sensed exactly what Keira needed from him to bring her to ecstasy. He pulled her arms over his head, flattening her against him as he caressed her bottom and sent wicked images to Luke of what they wanted to share. Luke was already a step ahead of him, slick lube on his hand by the time Declan pulled her ass cheeks apart and waited for his lover to prepare their woman for his possession.
She cried out at the first touch, her legs squirming as she instinctively tried to crawl away from the intense sensation. But Declan could feel her need to be joined to them like this, and he held her safe as Luke stretched her anal muscles carefully. She was panting, pushing back against him by the time Luke straddled Declan’s thighs and pressed his cock against Keira’s opening.
* * * *
Keira could feel Luke’s excitement almost as keenly as her own, but it was Declan’s relief that they were finally together that affected him the most. The fact that he’d been willing to walk away, somehow believing he wasn’t their mate, was both incredibly selfless and completely heartbreaking. Keira felt tears well in her eyes, and she leaned over to press a kiss to Declan’s lips. “I love you,” she said directly into his mind.
He seemed surprised by the strength of their link, and she smiled against his mouth as she sent memories to Declan of the first time she’d realized she had a link with Luke. He laughed quietly and then kissed her again.
But all levity evaporated as Luke pressed his cock past the tight ring of muscle and slid into her back passage. The pain lasted only a moment, but the heat that swelled from her womb sent tendrils of lightning to every part of her body.
And when they began to move every nerve ending vibrated, every muscle shook, every gasp for air wound her pleasure tighter. Then heat exploded in her middle, and she cried out as orgasm burst through her. Even as she shook, the men worked in tandem. One cock going into her as the other pulled out, both men holding her carefully as the three of them made love together.
She could feel their excitement grow exponentially as her ass and pussy caressed them, dragging them deeper, gripping them tighter.
Just as she felt them reach their own peaks, Declan sank his fangs into her throat, the enzyme burning a path through her veins as another orgasm spiraled through her.
She gasped, panting, trying desperately to hold on to the incredible feeling. And then, like a bucket of warm water pouring over her, heat covered every inch of her body and warm lassitude sank deep into her bones.
As she closed her eyes tiredly the mating link grew stronger.
Every thought, every feeling, every memory that Declan and Luke had ever had, filled her mind—Declan’s childhood filled with love and acceptance, Luke’s confusion and pain from his father’s behavior, Declan’s fear and insecurity when he’d realized he was gay, and later his relief to learn that his family loved him regardless. A multitude of information swirled into her brain, and she worked hard to process it, to understand it.
“Sleep now,” Luke whispered as he pressed soft kisses to her shoulder. “It’ll be easier to understand when the link is complete.” She nodded, exhaustion dragging her eyes closed as she lay her head on Declan’s chest. She barely remembered Luke moving away before sleep took her.
* * * *
Luke moved into the bathroom, quickly cleaned himself up, and headed back to the bedroom to take care of his mates.
Keira lay sprawled across Declan, the soft smile on her face as she slept making her simply more beautiful.
Declan held her tight, his mind full of questions as he sorted through some of the memories he’d gotten from Luke and Keira.
“Is it okay that I don’t like your father?” he asked in a quiet whisper. Luke had never really told him much about his childhood, but now with the mating link in place, hiding his past hurts was no longer an option.
“It’s okay with me,” he answered honestly. “I love him because he’s my father, but there are times when I don’t like him much either.” He cleaned Keira with a wet washcloth, moving slowly, trying to be careful not to wake her. “I’m also thinking that maybe you should handle Keira’s brother in the future. How the hell you managed to not punch that bastard in the nose is beyond me.” Declan chuckled softly, and Luke could hear the rest of his thoughts easily. It had been a trying dinner, but in the end family was family and you just had to deal with the relatives you were born with.
It was obvious by Keira’s memories that when she was much younger she’d adored her big brother, so Luke resolved to try his best to get along with the man. It was only in recent years that Keira had begun to see the man for what he was—petty and jealous—but even that hadn’t made her love her brother any less.
“Finally,” Declan said with a huge smile on his face. “I’ve been meaning to ask that question for quite a while now.” Luke laughed when he realized that Declan was sifting through what Luke knew about making Sesturian babies. Declan made a strangled gasping noise when he got to the part about the enzyme doubling Keira’s lifespan.
Luke lay down beside him and caressed his face. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you earlier.”
“I’m kind of glad you didn’t,” Declan said sincerely. “I’m not sure I could’ve lived with the guilt if I’d known.”
“Babe, you had nothing to feel guilty about. Love never runs smoothly, not for humans, Sesturians or any other species in this universe. But we’ve found each other now, and that is the most important thing.”
He could feel Keira starting to wake up and moved his hand to caress her head softly.
“Hmm, a girl could get used to this,” she said as she rubbed her face against Declan’s chest. “It’s quite amazing, this full mating link.” She smiled as she rifled through Luke’s memories but stiffened as she ran into one that didn’t show him in a very flattering light. “Oh, wow, I thought what we had before was intrusive, but now we even get to share every embarrassing teenage memory in the history of adolescent stupidity.”
Luke grinned knowingly. He’d already taken a quick wander through her memories as an awkward teenager and knew they weren’t as embarrassing as some of the things he and Declan had gotten up to.
Although…
He was about to tease her with one particularly embarrassing memory when she lifted up, grabbed him by the ear, and dragged his face to hers. “None of that,” she said with a laugh. “You love me enough to forget that memory.”
Luke grinned. He did love her enough. He also loved Declan with all his heart, and he would love them both until the end of time.
Somehow against the odds, they’d found perfection in a world full of flaws. And they planned to make the most of every day to come.
