“But that’s not all, right?” Xavier pushes, and I narrow my eyes on him.

“You know, just because there are a lot of people in this mating circle doesn’t mean I need to share all the details with all of you,” I say, baring my teeth.

He nods his head in acknowledgement but doesn’t look like he’s sorry. “No, but when I can feel how horny you are and some of us are in the position to fix that needy ache, I’m not going to keep quiet about it.”

I groan, because he’s not wrong. The needy ache inside hasn’t disappeared. It’s this constant pressure, which I now know are my mimic powers making themself known. I shifted forms, so now I need to refuel. “Ugh, Nikos’s belly and our tails are not conducive to pregnancy sex, so I took care of his needs. I remember how horny I was while I was pregnant.”

“Nothing’s changed,” Link says, chuckling, and my glare turns from Xavier to him, but he holds his hands up. “Hey, we know you can’t help it, and we love it, so there are no complaints, believe me.”

“Not at all, and I’m glad you have a lot of mates to keep your voracious appetites satisfied,” Cas adds, brushing a lock of damp hair back from my face. “And none of us will be upset if you decide to add a dragon and snake to the roster. You and Silac looked pretty cozy during the meeting.”

I don’t hear a hint of jealousy, just curiosity from my kraken. “He declared his intentions to pursue me if he can get his situation sorted out. I told him I was interested, and I enjoyed sitting in his lap. I love being wrapped up by his snake body, it’s soothing.”

“And the dragon?” Xavier can’t help but push boundaries.

I down the rest of my drink before putting the bottle on the table and pulling my legs up under me, snuggling against Cas. “Who knows?” I really have no idea. We’ll see what happens.

“And then there’s Brannock and our new friend Ghosie as well. Your marks appeared on them,” Link says cautiously, knowing I’m pretty close to losing my shit.

“Yes, but we all know that mimic Lila is a slut,” I grumble, feeling my cheeks pinken slightly with embarrassment.

“Aw, babe, don’t say that about yourself. That’s an Earth concept. The galaxy isn’t like that.” Cas gives my shoulder a squeeze.

“My mimic powers are basically a Pokémon trainer. She wants them all.” My grumble turns into a whine, and I don’t look at any of them as I bury my face in Cas’s chest. His arms wrap around me, and he gives me a hug.

“And we love you and don’t care if you add three more or thirty more,” Xavier says, and I lift my head off Cas’s chest to gape at him in horror.

“Thirty? Let’s just hold a funeral for my poor vagina now. Even my magic Skarrian vagina powers won’t be able to handle that many men. RIP, Lila’s vagina.” I know I sound slightly hysterical, but wouldn’t you be? “It’s like a porno in the making. Lila Does the Galaxy, or Lila’s Alien Gang Bang, or Lila Fills All Her Holes, or Lila’s Bukkaki Party.” I know I’m rambling, but give a girl a break. I’m tired, horny, and hungry, and not necessarily in that order.

“Bukkaki? I don’t think that’s a term I know,” Link muses, and I groan and drop my chin against my chest.

“Of course that’s the one thing you pay attention to. Look, all I’m saying is how am I ever going to give all of you the right amount of attention?”

“Baby, you have so much love to give, and with the circus and our rapidly growing family, there will always be someone around to love on the babies or help you out with the show or the cast, and I promise we all know to come to you if we are feeling neglected, but you are handling this wonderfully.” Cas presses a kiss to my forehead as I sag against him again.

“How about we take care of all your needs so you are in peak condition for Husadavia tomorrow?” Link suggests. “You too, Xavier. You need to have a power boost, and I know Lila gives you everything you need now, but it won’t hurt for you to be extra topped off.” Link stands up and offers me his hand. When I take it, he pulls me up, and we start in the direction of the bedroom.

“You coming?” he calls to Cas and Xavier over his shoulder, and I hear them scramble to catch up.

Well, I do like this assertive side of Link. Apparently I’m getting my freak on, and I am not going to argue. I can’t wait to see Link and Cas together again, and this time, I want to be involved. A certain scenario that I’ve been fantasizing about for a while floats through my mind, and I hear Xavier start coughing behind me.

“Are you okay?” Cas asks him, and when I look over my shoulder, my warlock mate is smirking at me.

“I am very much okay, just a little surprised by what Lila wants.” I feel my cheeks heat again, but he shakes his head. “Oh no, my dirty little intimate. I didn’t say it was a bad surprise. I would very much like to see it too.”

When we get to my room, Link opens the door, and we all pile in. We reach my massive bed, and he turns around with an eyebrow raised in question.

“Well, are you going to share?”

Xavier

Iwatch with amusement as our mate’s cheeks turn a rosy pink with her embarrassment. I almost couldn’t believe what I read in her mind. I wasn’t actively searching it, but she was practically shouting her thoughts. I knew she was kinky, but this is delicious.

“Well, are you going to share?” our cyborg asks her with a raised eyebrow, and I feel her panic.

“Phoeall, don’t be embarrassed. I think your idea is delightful,” I assure her, and she glares at me. I know she doesn’t really mean it, but I feel like Lila needs to be pushed sometimes. Earth’s puritanical ideals still influence her decisions and thoughts, and pushing her out of her comfort zone will be freeing.

“Stay out of my head.” She stabs a finger in my direction, and I hold my hands up in defense.
