"Our alpha fucked me senseless while Guillaume fucked our queen on top of us," he replied withouthesitation.
“Why did Rik need to fuck you into submission, mydragon?”
Mehen looked up at me, his eyes blazing with green fire. “Because I was… unruly,” he said the last word with a rumble of sexualheat.
"And how did you entertain me lastnight?"
"I beat the shit out of Daire and then fucked him for you, though Daire enjoyed the hell out ofit."
Daire let out a rumbling purr. "I sure as fuckdid."
"And where was our alpha duringthis?"
"Beneath us. Fucking you, my queen," Mehenreplied.
I looked back at the twins, judging their reactions. Their pupils were dilated, their nostrils flaring with each breath, their eyes locked on me. The one with the red spiral licked his lips, while the one with the black sun shifted his weight to the side. No doubt trying to make his erection more comfortable against thefloor.
“I say these things to you crudely so you know what to expect if I take you into my Blood. I love my Blood. I fuck them all as often as I can, in as many ways as I can. Even if that means multiples at the same time. I like watching my Blood fuck each other. My favorite way to sleep is with as many bodies as possible crammed into my bed, and my nest is going to have the largest bed I can find so I can sleep with as many of you as possible next to me. I want to touch as many of you as possible, as often as possible, and everyone feeds from me, unless you've made a prior relationship with another Blood and want to continue feeding him. I don't play politics in my Blood. Rik's word is law. If he decides to punish you and ban you from my bed, so be it. You won't touch one hair on my head until he saysotherwise."
I leaned forward, pinning them each, one after the other, with a hard look. "I won't take kindly to any thoughts of trying to dethrone my alpha. He's my alpha. Period. Iwillhim to be my alpha with every fiber of my being and every ounce of my blood. I love him as my alpha. I won't accept anyone else as my alpha. If anyone tried to harm him with the mistaken idea that I'd be open to replacing him, I'd rip their skin and flesh off their bones and grind their skeletons into fertilizer to feed my trees. Is thatunderstood?"
"Yes, my queen," the black sun brother said, while the other said, "Alrik Isador is myalpha."
I stood and stepped closer to them, but neither rose from the floor until I bent down and offered them each a hand. They took my hand and rose to their knees, their eyes locked on me. "When I take your sister as sib, I'll accept you as Blood, on onecondition."
The black sun brother narrowed his gaze on me, pushed well past his normal limits for patience. "Yes?"
I laughed softly and tugged them to their feet. "You have to remind me of your names again so I can stop calling you black sun and red spiral in myhead."

Inappedthrough midday and worked with Gina the rest of the afternoon to finalize the contractual side of a sib relationship with Mayte. I'd thought it was blood only, but evidently there was a whole other financial and legal side to consider. Taking Mayte as my sib meant she was entitled to my protection. To me, that meant she was part of my family and my court, and thus, my legacy. Though we had to define exactly what thatentailed.
As far as I was concerned, it was an easy decision. She had a child. If I had no heir at the time of my death, I told Gina to give my legacy to Xochitl on the condition that she take care of my court as her own. If I did have heirs at the time of my death, Xochitl, and any other children Mayte conceived, would receive an equal portion of the legacy as my ownchildren.
"Will you want an heir?" Gina asked hesitantly, looking up a moment from the stack of papers she was reviewing forsignatures.
I shrugged uncomfortably. "I don't really know. I've never thought aboutit."
Gina turned her attention back to the contracts. "You have plenty of time to decide. But it's a hell of a lot more paperwork once you have achild."
I huffed out a laugh. "That seals it then. No heirs,ever."
She knew I was kidding.Mostly.
Once the paperwork was organized, I had to select yet another dress. I groaned, rolling my eyes. "If I'd known I'd have to wear so many fancy outfits, I never would have come toMexico."
"Nonsense. It's a wonderful opportunity to play dressup."
We finally settled on a sultry black gown that hugged my curves. Though it was floor length, the sides were see through except for bands that criss-crossed up my legs and hips. Daire picked it out, along with some incredible fuck-me red stilettos that didn't seem to go with the dress at all. But who was I to argue with the king of shopping andsandwiches?
"The order of presentation will be different this time," Gina told me as we headed downstairs to meet with Mayte and Bianca to sign the contracts. "You are going to be their queen, and so you will go first. Then your Blood. Then Mayte, alone. She'll present herself to you in front of hercourt."
I took a deep breath. "And I do the deed. At least she knows what to expect when I biteher."
Gina smirked. "But the rest of her court likely doesn'tknow."
