“Anyway, we obviously didn’t do auditions, but with us being close to wrapping up everything we need to do, we need to look at restarting the circus, and we are down at least one act, probably two.”

“No Aquilians, but which other one?” Cas frowns and slides a little closer to me. He’s in humanoid form at the moment, and his thigh presses against mine.

“Well, the Vilaxians are a problem too. We’ve been summoned to appear before the queen and a tribunal, since those damn females won’t allow Saxon to dissolve their clan despite meeting his blood rose causing an automatic dissolution.”

“Crap, I forgot about them. What about Saxon’s brothers’ clan? Were they interested in staying on?” he asks, and I shake my head.

“I’m pretty sure they won’t be. They considered it beneath them to be circus performers. They were only here because the queen commanded it while Saxon was incapacitated, so that means we need to replace a couple of acts.”

“Don’t forget the lightning cats. We aren’t sure if they are returning or not. Echo won’t be able to perform anymore either,” Caspian reminds me, and my heart sinks.

“Damn it, that’s three big draw acts that aren’t guaranteed, which is where I suggest you come in, Ghosie. Lila is going to be too busy with all our personal stuff to even worry about the show. I suggest you approach the Adams brothers and take this off her shoulders. They have a list of applicants, acts that have expressed an interest in being a part of the circus, and while we are on Fluxx, you should arrange for them to audition.”

“Actually, Lila already has the list. It’s on her tablet in her room. I’ll grab it for you.” Cas pushes off the couch and leaves the lounge area, and I focus my attention on the bear. I can feel his excitement at my suggestion.

“I would be happy to do that for Lila, and it means I can spend more time with her during the auditions.”

I nod, resting my elbows on my knees. “Yes, and afterwards, you can sit down and discuss them and help her make a decision on whom we should employ. You’ve seen a lot of the galaxy and should know what is and isn’t popular, but whatever you decide, it needs to be Earth appropriate, and she can help with that.”

Caspian returns and swipes across Lila’s tablet. He presses a few buttons and then holds it out. “Put your paw on this,” he tells the bear, who quickly follows his instructions. The tablet scans it, and Caspian allows him access before handing it over.

“Now you don’t need to find one of us to open it for you. All the information is on there under an icon labeled auditions. Have a chat with Rick about when we’ll arrive at Fluxx, and maybe organize them for a week after we arrive. That should give us plenty of time to sort out Silac’s problems.” I’m so glad that Caspian is instantly on board without me having to explain anything, but then again, he also knows our wife the best by now.

“I don’t know how to thank you,” Ghosie says to us, taking the tablet from the kraken.

“Pfft, don’t even worry about it. We both know how stubborn and unaware our wife is. Don’t worry, we will work on her from our end as well, I promise,” I assure the bear.

He takes his leave, telling us he wants to get started on looking over all the acts, leaving the two of us alone.

“Let’s get these children to bed, and you can tell me more about this god,” he suggests.

“I’ll try, but Lila probably isn’t too far behind, so I can start, but she’s going to need you when she returns. She’s exhausted,” I tell him and wave a hand, picking up our babies who laugh and put their arms out like they are Earth planes.

“Well then, you better cut to the good stuff.” He chuckles, following behind as the babies make silly noises as we fly to the bedrooms. Hopefully it won’t take them too long to get settled, and I can tell the kraken about his wife’s new mate.

CHAPTER FOUR

Lila

Iwake the next morning with the wet, hot slide of someone’s tongue between my legs. I moan and reach for the covers, lifting them so I can look down at whoever is between my legs. I see a flash of purple hair before my chin is grabbed and my head is turned. I look into the glowing red eyes of my Vilaxian husband and feel my fangs click into place. My throat is parched, and my hunger explodes in my stomach. Shoving Caspian away, I roll and pounce on Saxon, burying my fangs in his neck before he can react. He grunts and wraps his arms around me as I take big, gulping draws of his blood, rubbing my pussy against his hard cock as I writhe against this naked body.

I hear chuckles behind me, and I recognize my warlock’s dry tone. “I guess Saxon was right. Her hunger does trump her horniness.”

Saxon reaches down and notches his cock at my entrance before slamming home. I moan and feel a small amount of blood trickle out of my mouth. This is going to be messy, but I don’t care. He fucks me hard as I feed. I was on empty when I returned last night, and the bloodlust is riding me harder than it ever has before. I hope the other two are ready to offer up a vein as well, because I’m going to need all of them.

Caspian crawls up the bed and wraps his lips around one of my nipples, the pressure making my toes curl with the added stimulation while Xavier slips a hand between Saxon and me and flicks my clit. I swallow a mouthful of blood and groan before flicking out my tongue and sealing the holes on Saxon’s throat. He leans in and kisses me roughly. Our tongues battle, and I slice it across one of his fangs. My blood fills our mouths, and he groans and picks up the pace, pulling away and nuzzling into my neck. He slides his fangs into the thick vein there and injects his venom. My body spasms as he takes the first long draw, and my orgasm detonates. Moaning, I wrap my legs around him and hold him in place as my cunt chokes his cock, pulling his seed into my body. He grinds his pelvis against mine, prolonging the pleasure for both of us. I can’t believe he held on as long as he did with my venom in his system. Caspian strokes my hair, and Xavier continues to flick my clit lightly, even though his hand is mostly just pinned between us. Saxon groans again as Xavier fondles his balls, and Xavier chuckles. He is such a tease. Finally, he stops drinking and pulls away.

“Did you take what you need?” I ask him and study my mate carefully. He looks good. His eyes and skin are bright, and he smiles at me.

“Yes, my beautiful blood rose. I feel amazing. Thank you for sharing your life force.” He gives me a gentle kiss as he pulls from my body.

“Thanks for sharing your huge cock,” I tease, and he rolls his eyes.

“I think you need to juice up some more, right? I can tell from the taste of your blood you are very much depleted.”

“I could go again,” I say, not looking at any of the others. “Sex with Brannock was off the fucking charts, but I didn’t seem to take much energy from him,” I admit as Saxon sits back on his heels and Cas and Xavier join him, all three of them watching me carefully.

“I’m going to guess it’s because you’re not officially mated to him. You need your Skarrian mark permanently on him to be able to draw energy from sex,” Xavier says carefully. “You do want that, right?”
