‘Tell me when to stop, Callan,’ Vesper murmured.
Callan didn’t answer.
I couldn’t see where Vesper’s fingers disappeared to, but Icouldsee the muscles in the pilot’s back tense, and feel the deep, guttural moan that ripped from his throat. He doubled his efforts and a few moments later I was arching in Alcide’s hands, shrieking Callan’s name as release tore through me and I throbbed against his mouth. He growled against my swollen flesh, his tongue lapping up my climax.
Vesper and Alcide exchanged a look over our heads as I panted and Callan writhed; the waves had barely stopped tearing through my body when Alcide lifted me up into his lap and positioned me over his cock.
‘Anna?’ he said hoarsely.
‘Oh, goodness, yes,’ I babbled as he pushed his head against my core, my moisture making us both slick.
‘Stop,’ Vesper said sharply. Alcide and I froze. ‘Anna. What do humans use for contraception?’
‘Oh,’ I said, my stomach flipping at how careless I’d been. ‘I’m not on anything. They put me on the pill to try to manage my adenomyosis, but I got super depressed and stopped taking it. I was thinking about an IUD but since I wasn’t seeing anyone, it didn’t seem to matter.’
Vesper nodded, though I wasn’t sure how much of that would make sense to him. ‘What would you do if we were on Earth?’
‘I’d use condoms,’ I answered. Technically, we should have used them regardless of whether I was on birth control or not, but in the heat of the moment, I’d forgotten entirely.Twice.
‘Right.’ Vesper stopped doing whatever he was doing to Callan, who made a noise of disappointment. The starling pointed at me. ‘Stayexactlywhere you are.’
He disappeared in a swirl of star-lit darkness.
‘I know he said not to move,’ Alcide said carefully, ‘but Anna-love, this is … I’m very close to losing control.’ He shifted his hips, the tip of his cock nudging between my folds. I could feel the heat of him at my entrance, feel the ridged scales on his head ripple, so close to where I wanted them, and it took all my willpower not to start sinking down.
‘That is the sweetest sight I’ve ever seen,’ Callan said roughly.
I shifted my hips back, so I wasn’t in danger of forgetting myselfagain, my thighs trembling as I held the position. ‘Callan,’ I whispered, and held my arms out to him.
He came into them tentatively, which I hated, but when I drew him down for a kiss he returned it with so much enthusiasm I started panting against his mouth. I bit his lip, tasting myself on his skin, then pulled away with a soft moan; Alcide and Callan stared at each other for a moment, then their mouths crashed together like planets colliding, drawn to each other by a thousand unseen forces, every one of them impossible to resist.
‘Goodness, yes,’ I panted, pinned between them, surrounded by their heat and their strength. It was everything I’d neverknown I’d wanted, and I shifted my hips again, dangerously close to sinking down without waiting for my starling to return.
‘That’s more like it,’ Vesper purred, reappearing in a swirl of darkness just in time, dropping a small box on the bed. ‘I think I made it to your country this time, though if you ever want to go back to that particular city, I might need to make a different body. Apparently it isn’t usual for naked humans to materialise from thin air and shout “Condoms!” at the top of their voice, although I will say that it got fairly swift results, even though I was near some kind of odd lake, and nowhere near a shop.’
‘Vesper, youdidn’t,’ I started, but broke off with a whimper as Alcide reached between my legs and gently pinched my swollen clit.
‘Focus, Anna,’ he said sternly, and my body lit up at his tone; apparently I liked Alcide’skingvoice quite a lot.
Callan picked up the box, eyeing it warily. ‘How does this work?’
I giggled. ‘You open it, for starters.’
Callan frowned at the box, then tore it open with a twist of his massive hands. The long line of foil fell into his lap.
‘Then you tear one off. Carefully.’
He picked up the foil, and with deliberate concentration, tore along the perforated line to separate one condom from the rest.
‘You need to open it,’ I whispered, transfixed by his strong fingers. ‘Close to the edge, so you don’t damage the condom.’
He did as I said; a line appeared between his black brows as he took the condom out.
‘You find the top,’ I managed, my voice even softer. ‘And you pinch it, so you can roll it down … So you can roll it down …’ I swallowed, then clambered off Alcide. ‘You start at Cide’s head, and it –’
Callan’s expression cleared. ‘Ah.’ He met Alcide’s gaze; the air between them was so charged it might as well have been electric.Alcide sank back on his elbows, a blatant challenge written across his face as he waited for Callan.
Callan surged forward without warning, snarling softly as he wrapped his hand around Alcide’s thick cock. An answering growl ripped from Alcide’s chest as Callan squeezed his shaft, just beneath his head, then fit the condom over and rolled it slowly down the hard length. I could see his scaled ridges still rippling under the latex, and an embarrassing whine escaped my throat before I could stop it.
