I snorted. "Great. Now I'm defiled."

Robin leaned in and captured my lips, as if she were trying to thoroughly erase the memory of Sadavir's kiss.

It didn't work, but not for a lack of skill. They were both just too sexy and addictive for me to ever forget either one of them.

"I did have a reason for walking you back," Robin said when she finally pulled away. "Are you truly okay?" she asked seriously. "Did you overextend yourself? Do you need something more than Yukio's tea to help you sleep?"

I smiled at her concern, then tilted my head as I considered her words. "Just what else were you going to offer?"

She purred as she slid a hand through my hair to grip the back of my neck. "I could lie with you. Hold you while you rest. If you are feeling… unsettled."

I smirked at the ridiculous alpha. "For my own wellbeing, of course. And not because it upset you hearing about you and your entire court being killed and now you want to cuddle your omega like a security blanket."

She huffed. "Yes. That."

I took her hand and gave it a squeeze. "You can come watch over me while I sleep, alpha. And I'll watch over you."

A bigger, cooler hand caught up my free hand, halting me in my tracks. "Me too," Sadavir voiced for me.

I chuckled when Robin growled.

"I won't choose favorites or take sides," I said firmly. "I care deeply for you both. I am attracted to you both. You're just going to have to learn to get along. I'm exhausted. Either we can all go take a nap together right now, or you can both leave while I nap on my own. Your choice."

Pulling my hands free, I opened my bedroom door and crossed the room to flop onto my nice, comfortable bed with a moan of relief.

A moment later, Robin's graceful fingers brushed my hair back from my eyes, her touch just a little hotter than usual. She was probably fighting her dragon instincts pretty hard right now. "Move over darling, so your snake can lie on the other side. I want to be on the side closest the door." So she could guard the entrance.

I turned my head and grinned into the blanket as I sat up enough to let Sadavir crawl past me. He grumbled a protest, but didn't fight Robin for the right to defend the door.

"Ah, the tea, love," Robin said, making me sit up and drink Yukio's sleep potion.

Then I snuggled up between my two alpha mates and fell asleep immediately, surrounded by the strength and comfort only they could offer.

Chapter 22

Ruya

Iwoke up slowly, feeling safe and content. The feeling wasn't new, I had learned it well since the rebels stole me from the Order. But now that I knew what it was like, I gloried in the sensation every chance I got. And this time it was different… more.

I lay on my side, one arm tucked under my pillow, with a warm presence on either side of me. Still half-way between sleep and awake, I nestled back into the solid body behind me, letting out a little sigh when an unmistakable hardness pressed against my butt. My body lit up at the suggestive movement, and I moaned a soft encouragement. A strong arm around my waist assisted, fitting me closer as Sadavir nuzzled my hair, breathing me in.

Then I smelled smoke, and registered that I was still wrapped up in two auras. The auras of two alphas who only barely tolerated each other from across the room on a good day.

"Ruya," Robin purred, her husky voice filled with a conflicting combination of warning and lust. Her movements contradicted the warning. A graceful hand warmed from within by dragon fire brushed along my cheek, tucking my hair back behind my hear and exposing my neck to Sadavir's attention. He obligingly pressed a kiss to my neck, making me shudder.

When Sadavir dragged the delicate points of his fangs across the sensitive skin, I sucked in a breath, my body bowing in response… pushing me right up against Robin. I froze, but the dragon simply stretched, the sinuous movement pressing us closer. Robin's heated touch drifted from my cheek, down my throat, and to my chest, coming to rest over my breast, the light touch making me want so much more. As her thumb circled my hardened nipple through the layers of my clothes, she pressed a slow, deep kiss to my lips. Then she pulled back.

Sadavir's hand moved lower, stroking over my hip and down to my belly, his fingers teasing underneath my waistband in silent question. Robin nipped at my chin. "You want this so badly, don't you, omega?" she purred. "To be pinned between your two alphas, two immensely powerful people both devoted purely to your pleasure?"

My throat constricted. I knew they didn't care for each other. I knew what the right answer should be. But I couldn't make myself speak. A soft whine escaped, as I fought to choose between what I should do and what I wanted.

"Words, Ruya, darling," Robin said, amusement lacing her soft murmur.

Sadavir pressed against me again, as if begging me to speak. "Yes," I gasped. "More than you can ever possibly imagine… please."

Robin's lips met mine again as Sadavir pressed an open-mouthed kiss to my neck, his hand drifting lower, pressing against my mound though my clothing, teasing, questioning. I rocked into his touch as I lifted my hand to cup Robin's cheek, deepening our kiss with a little moan.

Robin pulled back, pausing to nip at my lower lip before she spoke in her "alpha voice," all business. "I will be here with you while you enjoy your pet, darling. But if we are going to do this, there will be rules," she said evenly. "Boundaries."
