“I want to give this to you, and yes, I want you to wear it.” Hudson followed Kit and started undoing the body chain again. “Please.”

Connie joined them and pressed a kiss to Kit’s earlobe. “I can’t wait to see you in that. Preferably without a shirt on.”

“Preferably withoutanythingon,” Hudson corrected.

Kit gulped. Suddenly he had a very clear image of them making love to him in that thing… and nothing else. Oh yeah. That was going to have to happen.

Connie nosed Kit’s throat. “You like that.”

“You bet I do.” Kit shivered. He liked it a lot.

Hudson lifted the body chain off the bust. Holding it in his hands, he looked at Kit.

Turning slowly, Kit presented his back to Hudson. Connie moved his hair out of the way so Hudson could fasten it onto Kit. The first thing Kit noticed was the heaviness of the piece.

It wasn’t bad, but he definitely was aware of it. In a way, that was good. He wouldn’t want it to be so light he forgot about it. But it wasn’t so heavy that it bothered him.

The next thing was how well it seemed to fit—almost like it was made for him. The collar part wasn’t too tight around his throat, and the strands that draped over his chest lay just right.

“Oh, wow,” Connie whispered. “It fits you perfectly.”

Looking down, Kit ran his hand over the pearls. They were a gorgeous creamy white he absolutely loved.

“Magnificent. You are simply magnificent.”

The rumbly tone in Hudson’s voice brought Kit’s head up. Once more, Hudson’s dragon was looking through his eyes.

Smiling slightly, Kit stepped to Hudson and pressed a kiss to his lips. “I feel magnificent. Thank you. I will treasure this always.”

“A treasure for my treasure,” Hudson growled before pressing his lips against Kit’s.

The kiss went straight to hotness overload. Hudson’s tongue swept in, taking no prisoners. He dominated the kiss, demanding that Kit give him everything, and Kit did.

A few seconds later, he felt Connie’s hands on his ass and Connie’s mouth against the back of his neck. Trapped between his two dragons, Kit gave in to the desire sweeping through him.

This was where he was born to be.

The bond between the three of them fluttered happily. Hudson slowly ended the kiss, but he didn’t release Kit. Instead, he sank his hand into Connie’s hair and yanked him closer, kissing him too. Connie’s chest was pressed against Kit’s back, so he felt the rumble that came from inside Connie.

Once Hudson had kissed Connie senseless, he pulled away. “Mine. My mates.”

Connie’s answering growl sent a shiver through Kit. He wasn’t capable of making that kind of sound, but words. He had those. “Yes. Yours. And Connie’s. And the both of you are mine.”

The look in Hudson’s eyes told Kit they were going to end up in bed if he didn’t do something quick. Which, ordinarily, he wouldn’t have a problem with, but they had a bonding to finish, and they kept getting distracted.

But what a wonderful distraction it had been.

Looking down once more, Kit touched the pearls. Oh yes. What a wonderful distraction it had been.

Kit met Hudson’s gaze, and Hudson’s eyes slowly changed back to their gorgeous dark brown. “I’m going into the bedroom for a few minutes. Why don’t the two of you get those wineglasses doctored up? While you do that, I’m going to read over the words I’m supposed to say.”

Hudson blinked, then shook himself slightly. “Will you keep my gift on?”

“Absolutely.” Kit gave his mates another quick kiss, then took himself off to the bedroom.

He absolutely did not need to see how they went about getting the blood into the wineglasses. Instead, he wandered into the master bath so he could see his reflection. Turning this way and that, he admired the pearl body chain.

Damn, he looked hot.
