Cupping her bare breast, he squeezed with one hand as the other parted her nether folds. He traced his fingers along her center, and they became drenched with her excitement. Pleased, he licked her neck as her legs buckled.
Holding her weight, he followed her, easing them both onto the nestbed’s mattress. He kneeled behind her, keeping her upright as they faced her guard.
Zirene watched Kaede, noticing his cock had emerged from its sheath, standing tall. His slitted eyes had darkened, losing all of their color as Kaede watched Selena hungrily. The male hadn’t moved since he sat down, not even to grasp his manhood, as he silently took in everything Zirene was doing to their mate.
Zirene could feel his cock pressing between Selena’s soft ass cheeks, wanting to be freed from its loincloth, but first, he needed to bathe his Nova with his tongue, cleansing any remains of the watching male from her skin.
“My little Nova,” he purred, pinching her nipple as he placed a single digit between her soaked folds. She gasped and squirmed in his grasp. Holding her still, he continued to toy with her sensitive skin as he lowered his lips to her ear. “Do you see how much your new mate yearns for your touch? How his cock stands up for you?”
“Yes,” she breathed. “Who couldn’t?”
Zirene growled at the retort. She had spent too much time with her guard; his cockiness had rubbed off on to her. Such a comment deserved punishment.
“Do you know that ever since he had a taste of you, he hasn’t been able to control his desires?” Nipping her neck, he rolled her hardened nipple as he swirled a finger around her entrance. She groaned and bucked her hips around to push him deeper. Pulling his head away, he stilled his hands and chuckled. “He had a hard time guarding you during your throes of passion. I would know because I’ve spoken to him after a few.”
“What do you mean?” Her question came out like a moan, husky and full of need, as she glanced over her shoulder, eyebrows drawn together. “I knew he always watched… he would tease me before, but I never thought he would—”
“Because I never had,” Kaede corrected, pointing to his manhood. “You will never understand how difficult it was to guard you and your partners, to make sure no one would become a threat, while aroused.”
“What Kaede is implying is that every time you’ve been with someone, he was forced to watch and stay away.” Zirene chuckled. His laughter emerged dark and sinister as he released her breast to remove his loincloth. As he threw it over the side of the nestbed, his gaze fell upon the Circuli princes. Their dazed, weak stares satisfied Zirene’s darkness, which deemed them unthreatening, though they had always been submissive. No, Zirene needed to put Kaede in his place and prove to the male that he was in charge. “Now that Kaede is a member of the clan, I wonder how long it will be before he joins us.”
“With REI teleporting me, I’m now able to join in whenever I want,” Kaede huffed, rolling his eyes as he crossed his arms. “But I’ve had plenty of alone time with our mate recently, so it’s only fair for you two to reunite on our first night back.” Shrugging, he glanced at the Circuli princes. “After all, you are in the clan’s nestbed… nothing that happens within this chamber will go amiss.”
“Is it true?” Selena murmured as she glanced between them. “You were aroused whenever I was passionate with my mates?”
“Yes, my star,” Kaede whispered, leaning forward, his arms barely missing his hard cock. “We weren’t officially mates, and even if we were, you didn’t invite me into your bed. What kind of assassin would I be if I distracted myself with my hand when I am supposed to be guarding you in your most vulnerable state?”
“What’s stopping you now?”
Zirene didn’t miss the challenge in her voice, and by the toothy grin spreading across Kaede’s face, he hadn’t either.
“Who said anything is stopping me?” He slowly grabbed his cock with one hand and pumped once. “Maybe I want you to do the honors?”
“Grab him,” Zirene directed, the words sliding out on a hiss. “Take him and claim him as yours. Teach your male to learn his place within your clan.”
Kaede’s eyes widened, his head jerking back in shock, earning him a chuckle.
“You want me to grab it?” Selena peered over her shoulders, frowning. “But I thought—”
“I will have my way with you later. Don’t fret,” he purred, tracing her nether lips with his fingers. Her eyes widened as her mouth dropped on a low moan. “I want to see you wipe that cocky smirk off his face by giving him what he wants.”
“Are you sure?”
“Don’t you worry, my little Nova,” he chuckled, tracing his tail between her legs, making her quake with desire. “I will be spending my time preparing you while you are busy.”
“If you don’t have a problem with it, I don’t either.” She wiggled her ass against Zirene’s hardness wedged between her cheeks teasingly. “I’ve been wondering how you two would handle being on the nestbed with me.”
Instantly, Zirene shadowstepped in front of Kaede with Selena still pressed against him. Kaede scrambled backward until his back hit the cushioned headboard. The horned male had lost his composure, gaze flickering as though he was wondering whom he should address.
Selena didn’t wait. She took charge like a female of her status should.
She was his Beacon, his partner in governing the Aldawi Empire, and the clan’s nestqueen. If she wanted all four of them to entertain her, it was in her power to demand it, regardless of her mate’s condition.
Zirene needed Selena to weaken Kaede before he took her. Another dominant male sharing the same bed and mate drove Zirene to challenge him and make him submit to not only him but to Selena, too.
He couldn’t fall apart. Not on their nestbed.
Zirene watched as his Nova wrapped both of her hands around her guard’s textured, hardened cock and smeared his natural lubrication all over his length.
