He stroked my cheek. “That’s utterly impossible, sweetheart. Don’t be nervous. I’ll treasure every part of you that you want to give.”

My heart was still racing as I gazed up at him, but the way he was looking at me made me feel safe.

Talon cleared his throat. “Maybe I should leave you two,” he said.

I looked at him, eyes narrowing.Excuse me?

“Talon, pet?” said Kaine, pointing a finger at the ground. “Shut thefuckup and sit down.”

Talon sat on the ground, blushing a deep purple.

Kaine’s hands were still around my waist, and he guided me down, so I was sitting on Talon’s lap.

“Nidori, you let us know if you want to slow down. We’re happy doing whatever you are comfortable with,” Kaine said.

“Everything. I want everything,” I replied.

Kaine chuckled.

“Even so. If we start something and you find you don’t like it, you just have to say.We’ll stop.”

Talon pulled me tightly against him, pressing his lips against my neck, his hands slipping around my waist. I gasped as the touch worked its magic, causing the most foreign part of me to throb with pleasure.

Kaine stripped off his shirt and pants, and I looked at him with fascination. His lean body was so different from Talon’s, and yet, I was having the same reaction to it. Kaine knelt in front of me, bringing his hand to my face. His knuckles brushed my cheek.

“Take off your clothes, sweetheart,” he said gently, and I swept the vine-piece down, casting it away.

His eyes examined my body, the hunger in them bringing heat to my face. I had never been examined like this before. There had been no right or wrong way to look, but now? Fear caught in my throat. What if this body was not enough? What if they didn’t like it?

“What do you think, Talon?” Kaine cocked his head to one side. His expression was unreadable. My heart pounded in my chest.

“You’re perfect,” Talon murmured in my ear, his strong hands adjusting me on his lap. Despite the thin fabric separating us, I could feel something hard pressing against me. His male part- his stamen. My hands slid down so I could feel it, and his breath hitched against my neck as my hand cupped the bulge in his pants. It was stiff, like hardened wood. I had read about how males changed when they were aroused, but this was so much bigger and harder than I thought it would be. It was his body, reacting tome. And my body was reacting as well…a base need, he had said.

I stroked my hand down his hardened length and he shuddered, his fingers digging into the soft skin above my hips. I moaned at the touch, the intensity of my reaction. The feeling was intoxicating, and I wanted more,neededmore. Even if I didn’t know what that was. What happened next? How did I know if I was doing it right?

“Mmm,” said Kaine, as if reading my thoughts. “You’re responding to him so well.”

His hand dropped from my face, stroking the curve of my breast. He took it in his hand, and I could feel wetness bloom between my legs as he touched me. My face burned as I glanced down, wondering what had happened.

“Don’t worry. That’s your body preparing for us,” whispered Talon, nuzzling my neck.

“For this,” Kaine said.

His hands trailed down his torso, and he slipped his thumb into the lining of his pants. He tugged them down over his hips and slid out his own hardened wood. It was stiff, swollen, and I gazed at the marked veins that wound down the shaft. I reached out, looking up at him questioningly, and his hand met mine, moving it up to touch him. An invitation I took him up on, brushing my fingers against the surprisingly velvety skin. Talon let out a heavy breath as I touched it, and Kaine leaned his head back, a look of pleasure on his face.

“Do you want more?” I asked, and he looked back down at me.

“This part is about you, love,” he said.Love.The word made me feel giddy.

His hand slipped under my chin, guiding me to look up at him. I was captivated by his gaze. I had seen Talon looking at him like this, but now I understood. He was our guide, and all I had to do was let go and listen.

Kaine leaned down and kissed me. His lips brushed mine; they were soft and warm. He started gently, his hand cupping my breast. I leaned up, wanting more, and felt the wetness as his tongue guided our way. It was so much more visceral than I had imagined, but then again, how could I have predicted how much I’denjoythat? The messier, thewetter, the wilder the kiss got, the more the ache in my lower belly grew.

I wrapped my arms around him, back arching as I leaned up for more. Kaine’s thumb pressed into my nipple, and I let out a small sound as the touch reverberated throughout me, magnifying the storm of feeling building within. I could feel Talon’s lips on my neck again, and the torrent of sensations swirled within me, desire pounding in my blood, demanding more. I shifted, grinding down on Talon’s erection and eliciting a groan. I felt powerful, knowing he was responding tome, enjoyingme.

Kaine pushed me back, so I was pressed between him and Talon. He kissed his way down my torso. He took his time, tracing each curve, attending to each part, as though it was sacred. He glanced up at my wide eyes as his lips traced my thighs.

“Does this feel good?” he asked.
