“Wait. It gets worse.”
Worse? Shari wondered. How could being from Earth be worse? Her eyes narrowed as Shan Lin continued.
“Since Queen Stephanie knew nothing of our ways, she chose to learn all she could before actually coming here and taking control of her throne. Minor details had to be taken care of before she could come. Those aren’t important now. I only bring it up so you’ll understand just how seriously she is taking on the mantle of leadership.”
Shari nodded, understanding only too well. In the other woman’s place, Shari would want time to learn all she could so as not to make mistakes with an entire world she knew little about, rather than jump in and learn as she went. She shuddered to think what might happen if…
But it was exactly what she was doing now. If Vincent had explained correctly, she was now in a position similar to what this Queen Stephanie must be facing.
Shari’s body began to shake.
What if I screw something up? I don’t know the first thing…
“Be at ease, little one. It’s close,
Kasha
. But not quite.” Shan Lin tried to reassure her. “We are here for you.”
Vincent and Shan Lin each reached out to comfort Shari, coming out of their chairs to surround her. Shari felt waves of comfort emanate from the pair, and the pounding of fear in her heart, which started at her thoughts, eased gradually.
Taking a deep breath seemed to indicate she was calmer and the two resumed their seats and the discussion.
“The problem is this. Our aunt, Queen Sara, is not ready to have her position or power taken from her. She has barely acknowledged our new Queen except inside the palace where she resides. She makes no concession to the fact she must vacate her position as soon as Queen Stephanie deems it necessary to come and reside in Aranak, and from what my brother and I know, it won’t be long now.”
“You see Sara is very addicted to the life of a monarch. At the moment any and all are at her beck and call. When she says jump, there is no asking how high, you just do it. She is cruel, she is a tyrant, and she is slowly driving the world of Aranak to its knees for no greater reason than she can.”
At those words, Shari watched Shan Lin bow his head in an attempt to hide his growing anger. She reached out her own hand and comforted him by stroking her own fingers down his cheek. She wanted to get out of her chair and take him in her arms and lay his head on her breast. Anything to ease the ache she was now feeling in her own chest as if it was hers.
He looked up out of eyes awash in anguish and gave her a lopsided smile.
“It is we who comfort you. It is the way of our people.”
“Then the ways of your people need to shift a bit,” Shari said as she got up and went to him, taking his head in her hands and giving him a gentle kiss on his lips. She saw Vincent come up beside her and reached a hand out to his brother. Reaching out one of her hands, she gently guided Shan Lin’s head to her breast and awkwardly leaned into Vincent.
“I’m here now. Anything you two need, I’ll see you get it.”
A choked sound came from Shan Lin.
“It is our duty…” he began.
“It is all of our duty to see the three of us get what we need. You are my husbands now. No matter how it came about, it is a fact. If I need to see your aunt, we’ll figure something out in the end. Don’t worry. I can hold my own with the best of them.”
Shari did what she could to comfort her husbands as they began to tell her about their aunt.
* * * * *
It was sometime later in the evening as Shari sat awake in bed, her husbands sound asleep when she began to think she might have bitten off more then she could chew with their aunt.
Shari shivered between her sleeping husbands as she thought of the things they told her their aunt had done. Two arms, one from each man on either side of her, reached out to enfold her in their warmth as murmurs sounded in stereo.
“Ssssh. I’m fine.”
Twin grunts of acceptance sounded and Shari smiled at the sounds. Even in their sleep her husbands worried for her.
It didn’t matter. If it was a command performance the woman wanted, a command performance the bitch would get.
Chapter Thirteen
Shari awoke gradually to find herself lying on top of Vincent, her back to his chest, her body on fire. Shan Lin lay between her legs, his head dropping forward absently as his tongue darted out teasing against her clitoris. Vincent’s shaft was burrowing itself slowly into her pussy then receding just as minutely. A rapturous groan escaped Shari, sounding husky with sleep as well as desire.
“Does this please my wife?” Vincent whispered into her ear as he thrust then retreated with small circling movements of his hips. First he thrust into her from the left side, sliding negligently out again, then reversing sides and repeating the process over and over again until Shari nearly begged him to go faster.
Shan Lin busily lapped away at her clit, alternately sucking on it, then biting down gently before his tongue laved deliberately at the burning bud. He lifted his head and smiled wickedly at Shari before returning with a vengeance to his task.
“Do your husbands service you well? Is our loving to your liking?” The sensual words whispered in her ear caused her pussy to contract and Vincent to moan sensually against her neck.
“Again,
Kasha
. Again.” Shari moved her hips lower, her mind beginning to catch up with her body. Vincent thrust his hips upward just in time to catch her downward movement. The result caused Shari to use her channel muscles to grip the hot cock buried deep within her.
“That’s it, love. Do it again.” The words were gritted against Shari’s neck as Vincent brought a hand upward and began to knead her breast.
Shari gyrated her hips faster, seeking release. It made no difference. No matter how briskly she moved, neither man would be rushed.
In the end, she resorted to pleading, begging in the worst way possible. The men played with her as if she was their personal toy and they had been denied her for a long time. Shan Lin gradually increased his licks and suckled her faster as Vincent’s cock rammed harder and harder. Grinding her hips, Shari whimpered in gratitude.
On the verge of an orgasm, crying out in sheer relief at finally being given what she sought, she neared the edge, her hips pistoning in counter rhythm to Vincent’s strokes and Shan Lin’s tongue, she tasted the climax waiting just ahead. Shari rose off Vincent’s chest, grasped onto Shan Lin’s hair and pushed his head further into her pussy. Swiveling her hips, she simultaneously ground her pussy against Vincent’s thick shaft.
Breath coming in pants and wheezes, Shari listened as Vincent encouraged her to fuck him.
“Harder. Your pussy is so tight, so wet…
Riad! Frech
my cock.” His voice trailed away as he sucked in his breath hard.
The words sent her into her climax screaming out as her pussy convulsed and pulsations ripped through her body against Vincent’s thrusts. Moments later, or perhaps a lifetime later, Shari felt Vincent’s release. As his cock jerked and his body rode out his release, her pussy joined him in another, softer orgasm.
Shari lay panting as Vincent kissed her neck and Shan Lin nuzzled her nether lips occasionally licking her sensitive clit, sending an answering jolt through her body.
When her breath returned, Shari thanked the men.
“Now that’s what I call an alarm clock. Any chance I can get the entire performance replayed while I’m fully awake?”
Both men chuckled as Shari disengaged herself from Vincent and collapsed on the bed.
“You’re an insatiable woman,
Kasha
, but it’s fine with me. I do believe I’ll enjoy it in my wife.”
Smiling seductively, or hoping she was, Shari tried a come hither look on Shan Lin.
“Are you pained, Shari?” Shan Lin asked solicitously and tilting his head checked her body from head to toe. She rolled her eyes and wondered if perhaps her husbands weren’t as in tune with her as she thought.
“He understands well enough,
Kasha
,” Vincent said from beside her as he turned his head and bent to kiss her. His tongue made its way into her mouth as his fingers came to rest in her springy curls, playing with her clit.
Shari moaned into his mouth and hung on. Before he had released her mouth, Shari had another climax.
“Now, if you’ll excuse me a moment, I’ll be right back.” Vincent spoke as he climbed from the bed and made his way to the bathroom. As Shari lay in a hedonistic stupor, she heard water running. Turning her attention on Shan Lin she noticed his cock still hard as ever.
Can’t have that, now can we?
Shari roused herself, demanding her liquefied body answer her commands.
Not if you say so, we can’t.
The answer slipped into her mind and she smiled knowing Shan Lin agreed completely with her assessment.
“Come here, husband. I must see to your needs. Now.”
Shan Lin obeyed her command immediately and with great pleasure. Shari rewarded him by taking his engorged shaft deep into her mouth. Coming upward, she used her teeth to scrape against the bulging veins and wringing a low moan of pleasure out of him. She used her tongue on the tip of him and rimmed the tiny opening before bathing the entire circumference with her tongue, licking her way backward and forward then lifting his swollen, heavy sac with her hand and using the other to stroke his cock up and down.
She repeated the process slowly at first, then faster and faster until her pussy began to pulse in time with the veins of his hot shaft. Just before his release, Shari took him completely into her mouth and down her throat to the hilt, and grabbed onto his naked, silky ass. His hips pumped faster and faster and with each thrust of his cock, Shari’s pussy answered with a throb of its own.
“
Frech!
I’m going to come…” Shan Lin barked out. Shari beat him to it, coming first. The vibrations in her throat along with moans of her pleasure set off his climax and a hot stream of salty liquid poured into her mouth and throat. Shari did her best to suck him dry, as she rode her own maddening orgasm. When he tried to pull away, she held on, making sure she had gotten it all.
When she finally released him, he twitched and Shari smiled knowing this was one incident her husband would remember for a while.
“Yes…I will,” Shan Lin gasped.
Shari smiled in satisfaction and fell back on the bed once again, a yawn surprising her.
“That was lovely. What time is it anyway?” Shari looked around wondering why she had yet to see clocks in the house.
“Our bodies let us know what time it is. Right now, it is very early. The sun has yet to rise and you can go back to sleep if you’d like.” Vincent came out of the bathroom speaking through a towel as he dried his hair.
Shari looked him over and reveled in the power of his beautiful body. His shaft stirred and began to rise, and Vincent chuckled.
“It is always this way with mates. I only have to think of you and I’m hard as a tree. Unfortunately,” he paused giving Shan Lin a “hurry up” look then turning his attention back to Shari, went on speaking, “we must leave.”
Shan Lin bent over Shari and kissed her soundly before rising and bounding off the bed.
“Thank you,
Kasha
, that was the most wonderful gift I could have received.”
Shari breathed heavily after the kiss and barely managed a thank you of her own.
“Thank you…both.” Her heart raced and she wondered if they had time for just…one…more…
Both men moved rapidly toward her, Vincent tossing his towel and Shan Lin reversing his direction.
“
Kasha
.” The men rasped as they climbed toward her.
Apparently they did.
Chapter Fourteen
Shan Lin and Vincent loaded their horses into the transpo lift they would need to reach Hurok by early the next morning as Winters directed their packs and accessories to be loaded into the cargo bay.
“Easy, Demond.” Shan Lin soothed the annoyed horse as he led Demond up the ramp into the ship. The horses rarely protested the trip, but Shan Lin’s horse, Demond, and Vincent’s, Talana, had been in the middle of breeding season when Queen Sara had ordered the brothers to infiltrate Hurok.
Mate.
The word skittered through Vincent’s mind as the horses’ hooves pounded up the load ramp.
Shan Lin grunted agreement with the word the horses spoke but knew there was little the two men and the two horses could do about their interruptions from their mates.
“Leave it to an animal to remind us where our priorities should lie. It’s bad enough he and Talana had to leave their breeding grounds for this sojourn, but we had to leave our bride as well.”
The grumpiness Shan Lin heard in his brother’s voice echoed in his own heart as well. A resigned sigh escaped Shan Lin.
“Brother mine, if you think I’m in any better of a mood for having to leave Shari curled so sweetly in our bed, then you’ve lost more of your mind than I thought.”
Vincent harrumphed as he threw the last of their gear in behind the horses and prepared to board the ship.
“Orders are orders. But I’m damned if I want to follow these. Don’t newlyweds normally get two weeks before they have to face the world? Isn’t there some arcane law which would allow us to stay and…”
