And then... they began to move. Although Daskh couldn’t maintain a long glide while he carried both Kehtal’s and her weight, the males moved in concert with each other, their cocks driving into her holes with eager abandon. Her breasts rubbed against Daskh’s scales since Kehtal’s grip shifted to the other’s male shoulders, latching them together in place as her mates panted and growled and hissed together in unison as they filled her body. Lori squeezed around them, her body feeling boneless as she was held caught between their powerful frames as they bred her between them.

There was no other way to describe the fervor and desperation within their rutting as their bodies rolled and snapped, driving their cocks into her, wringing cries from her as she swept along in a tide of pheromone-drenched ecstasy.

“More,” Kehtal growled, his clawed hand clenching at the back of Daskh’s neck, bringing the other male’s heated gaze to him. “Give her more. I want to feel your sant filling with seed within her.”

Lori’s sex grew wetter at his words, and she shivered even as Daskh hissed in agreement the angle of his thrust suddenly shifting until his cock was stretching her further and Kehtal was gasping of pleasure behind her as their cocks pressed tightly together with only her internal barrier separating them. Daskh rasped in pleasure, his large body trembling as his wings stretched wider and beat the air in an effort to support them. The vessels of his cock rubbed her channel, following the path of his vibrating heads, straining with the unspent seed gathering in his shaft. His body pelvis snapped faster, driving into her with short, hard thrusts, terminating each thrust with a deep grinding sensation that made her cry out before retreating again while Kehtal kept pace with him.

“So beautiful,” Slengral called from above, drawing her attention back up to his hot gaze from where he watched her. “You are beautiful filled with your mates’ sants, and even more when you are filled with their seed. Let them fill you, ashlava.”

Lori reacted unexpectedly to his words and cried out as she clenched hard around their pulsing cocks filling her. Her males’ tails tightened as they jerked rapturously within her, their cocks releasing their stream of seed even as they continued to thrust against each other, extending their climax as one pleasure bled into another. Her males’ groans and shrieks filled the air as they filled her. Daskh was still fully lodged within her when Kehtal’s cocks finally emptied. The male brushed her jaw with his before opening his wings and falling away, leaving her alone in Daskh’s arms.

Wrapping her arms around him, she clung to her big mate, savoring the connection between them as his cocks continue to pulse and give up their gift to her. He always seemed to have more seed than the other two males, but she enjoyed having this moment with him after he had been so nearly stolen from her before. She hadn’t even known for certain whether he had ever awakened, and so seeing him there in the sky with Slengral when they dove in over the nara had made her want to collapse in relief if not for the fact that she had been so quickly caught up by her males.

Brushing a kiss against his chest, she hugged him to her as his song gentled around her into a loving croon, vibrating with an unspoken message of his need and love.

“I love you, too,” she whispered against his scales. “I love all of you so much. Thank Shangla you have been returned to me.”

Chapter 47

Lori peered at her mates as they reclined comfortably, filling the small house. It should have been overwhelming given how small the house was, but it instead felt cozy and comforting having them all so close after being separated from them for so long. And the entire nara had been more than happy to welcome them, too, which had made Lori break out in tears of gratitude and then nearly caused an incident when her mates became alarmed and went all protector on her until she’d been able to explain that they were happy tears. Thankfully, the Vehal didn’t hold a grudge and happily worked together to fill her home with all the excess cushions needed to make a comfortable nest.

“What is your plan now?” Therxian asked from where he was reclined at a respectful distance as their guest, while Sara and Yuneril took another cushion a bit further away as they listened in on everything curiously.

Slengral’s arms had remained wrapped firmly around her ever since they had settled onto their cushion and his warm wings folded carefully on either side of her, but now they tightened slightly in response to his brother’s question.

“We will not be going anywhere near the shinara,” he rasped. “I will not allow my mother anywhere near Lori again. Not the colony either for a similar reason—it is too easy for my mother to find us there and I will not chance it.”

Lori nodded in agreement. “That was the direction of my thoughts as well. I don’t want to risk our baby again,” she said softly as she rested a hand over her belly, “or any of my mates. Nor do I want the colony to suffer any risk of danger from the shinara. Even with the hunters joining Raza colony, the shinara outnumbers them by quite a lot.”

“I still can’t believe you have Seshanamitesh who have willing joined a colony.” Sara shook her head in awe as she leaned against her mate. “I think the higher-ups in Colony Alpha would suffer heart attacks.”

“Ah, well, I guess that is where Raza would be a bit different,” Lori replied with a laugh. “Control was literally handed to the grunts, as it were. Eddie and Vi wouldn’t think about excluding anyone in the colony.”

“You would not, either,” Kehtal pointed out, turning to Sara with a proud smile. Our Lori was a queen at Raza.”

“Wrong word,” Lori admonished as she gave her mate an affectionate look. “More accurately, I was in a unique position to help run Raza which none of the other mated women wanted.”

“Ah,” Sara murmured. “Yes, we have noticed that most of the women who are brought here as mates are happier just living a quiet life with their mates. They aren’t exactly very vocal in community affairs which makes it frustrating at times to make sure their needs are being met.”

“You speak as if their mates will not see to that,” Yuneril scoffed but he hugged his mate to him lovingly. “You know firsthand how well a Seshanamitesh will care for his little human.”

Sara’s face flushed a bright red and Lori coughed to cover the laugh that escaped her. Oh yes, Sara knew just as well she knew and every other woman around knew exactly how well their mates cared for them.

“If you do not wish to return to the Aglatha or to your Raza, then there is only one good option,” Therxian observed as he reclined with a satisfied smile. “You will stay here of course. It will infuriate the matriarchs to imagine another of their hunters and sons of the royal mother line dwelling among the Vehals.”

“The Vehals are certainly not as I was told,” Slengral cautiously replied.

Therxian frowned but his gavo snapped unhappily. “The Vehal were once like that. The old stories of the split between those of the shinara and those that became the Vehals are true, the difference is that the shinara imagined that Vehals remained that way over countless generations. Not only are they larger than those who went beneath the ground, but they are more powerful for numerous reasons. Eventually, their people had to evolve just as those of the shinara and the Uralial were forced to evolve to meet their own situations and needs. The naras of the Vehal are not perfect but they are more welcoming and have a better chance for growth and change, mostly because they are also constrained into smaller communities that make such things easier. When humans arrived, the Zirnara was the first to welcome them, and yet now there are humans in many naras all over the mountains. The shinara would like for everyone to remember the Vehals as they were because it suits their purpose.”

“And it can suit ours as well,” Daskh interjected, as he met the eyes of everyone gathered there. “My father was of the Vehal, and I can tell you that even thinking badly of the Vehal they seek ways to get rid of them in situations where they outnumber them, such as within the shinara, but they are also too afraid to wage an outright conflict with a Vehal nara. They will not even come near the mountains, guaranteeing safety from the shinara for anyone who remains here. I believe it will serve in our favor if we stay as we were invited,” Daskh added as he addressed Slengral, his head tipping toward his nest brother.

Therxian inclined his head. “In that case, live here among us and do not worry about the Aglatha. I will handle the shinara in time.”

“And we will keep an eye on the shinara,” Jathella interrupted as she straightened from her place. She glanced at her sisters and smiled grimly. “My sisters and I can sneak in and out without being noticed and gather information regarding the queen matriarch and the activity within the shinara.”

Lori looked back at Slengral. “I wouldn’t mind staying, too. I like it here and Sara is not only a medic, but I trust her to help me when it is time for our nestling to come.”

Her mate inclined his head, his gavo ruffling but he glanced over a Kehtal. “And you? Do you wish to stay as well?”
