“You can’t have all the fun, Xylo,” Odelm protested as he combed his hand through his pale anemone-like hair strands, shaking out the remaining water. “You may be Primary, but you need to leave some fun for the rest of us. She wants us toshare.”
“Follow my lead and everyone will have the pleasure of giving her bliss.” Kaede purred in my ear as he pinched a beaded nipple and rolled it between his fingers. He ground his hardened manhood against my ass cheeks, matching the same pace of his middle finger as it softly traced a circle around my entrance with his thumb pressed rhythmically against my clit. “And don’t worry about me.” I turned my head toward him as he swiftly removed his hand from my juncture and slowly licked my juices from his fingers. Kaede’s eyes were dark with hunger, promising more was about to come, and he smirked. “I’ll gladly watch as I wait for my turn.”
“Please.” The word that escaped my mouth sounded more like an order than begging. I wanted nothing more in this heated moment than all of my mates surrounding me, touching me, and bringing me to new heights as they sought my bliss and comfort. “I need you all. Now.”
“You heard her.” Kaede let out a deep rumbly chuckle and gripped a handful of my hair, exposing my neck for him to do as he wanted. “Let’s celebrate.”
I wordlessly watched my Circuli mates as they stared at us in a mixture of excitement and shock from my display of trust and exchange of power to Kaede.
A Circuli male being dominant to their nestqueen was unheard of—other than the case when I had bitten Odelm with my Bahzyl at the space station. Instead ofdemandingthem to please me, I was requesting it and was allowing my newest mate to take the lead to instruct them with what he believed I wanted.
All of them could hear my thoughts and sense my emotions; it should've been clear that I enjoyed playing along with Kaede’s bossy antics. He had learned that his bedroom commands always turned my veins aflame. The daily banter we had used as our unique way to resist each other had turned into subtle touches, meaningful gestures, and short sentences that would only be sweet coming from his lips as his way to show that he cared.
Sending my nestmates a reassuring smile, I held Xylo’s worried gaze as Kaede bit down on his favorite spot along the juncture of my neck, puncturing my skin. I sucked in a deep breath as the rush of his Bahzyl sent a tingly burning through my system, instantly lighting up my arousal.
“Have fun, my star,”Kaede pathed; his mental voice consumed me, filling me with his own need.“When your nestmates are done playing with you, I will take my time until you beg me to cool your inferno.”
Licking the fresh mark he had placed on my neck, Kaede released me as his presence disappeared from behind me. Opening my eyes, I traced our connection to find Kaede leaning against the nestbed’s cushioned headrest. He watched me with a darkened stare, smirking as he touched his living suit’s disk.
Instantly, it shrunk into itself, revealing Kaede’s lethal body. I couldn’t stop myself from tracing his perfectly sculpted abs and well-defined obliques that led to his enlarged cock, which was begging for its own release. I squeezed my legs together, feeling the wetness between my thighs as memories of how wonderful the bumps felt rubbing against my nether walls.
Chuckling, Kaede gripped his manhood and licked his fangs. His lips curled into a mischievous grin, as if he were daring me to take him.
“Before you can have this, I believe Xylo would like to have his chance to taste you.” He jerked his head toward my Primary. “How about you start with him first?”
Chapter Thirty-Nine
Kaede
Observing his star, Kaede understood why his Circuli clanbrothers were addicted to their connection to her. He could feel the echoes of her arousal adding to his own. It would take a lot of control to prevent himself from joining in too soon.
He hadn’t missed the fluttering thoughts she had, wishing her clan could surround them when they’d had during their private celebration in his bedroom. Being apart from the others in their current conditions shortly after they had just reunited was something that lingered in the back of her mind as she fell asleep.
She enjoyed sharing—and being shared—and he wasn’t going to take that away from her. He was used to performing to prove his abilities to others. It wouldn’t bother him to make love to his star in front of the rest of the clan—in fact, he felt like it would feel natural to do so. Just like whenever he gave her small touches and quick kisses as he passed her.
But that didn’t mean he wouldn’t want a chance to ravish her alone in a place the others wouldn’t be able to travel—like on the hoverbike he was in the middle of designing. Once everything settled and they gathered the cubs, Kaede hoped he would take her on a flight amongst the clouds.
He wanted to remind her once again that she was the brightest star in the night sky as she blinded him with her brilliance.
Xylo shot a glance at Kaede from his seat as if asking for permission to go to their needy, shared mate.
Kaede grinned and nodded, knowing exactly what he was going to have his Circuli clanbrothers do.
“Don’t keep her waiting.”
Drawing a deep breath, the star-patterned Wudox sighed, jumping off the ledge as he walked over to Selena. Once he reached her, he instantly dropped to his knees and cupped her face, gently pressing his lips to hers.
Kaede sucked in a quick breath from the raw passion radiating from his star. Grunting from the sudden waves of sensations, he gripped his hard cock tighter to remind himself that it was okay. Even though his mating heat had passed, he still had lingering effects from it, and paired with the arousal Selena was broadcasting through their new connection, he knew he was in a long night.
Even so, he would continue to wait for his turn.
She was still his—as well as theirs.
Each member of his new clan was a star in Selena’s constellation—they belonged with her as much as he did. And they needed her more than him at this moment too.
Unlike the others, he wasn’t bound by his species' biological restrictions or traditions. His clanbrothers were naturally submissive, as their instincts demanded them to always put their nestqueen above themselves. This was why they were hesitant whenever he or Z gave Selena a command because it went against everything they were, even if it was for her own good.
It was his job to make sure that Selena never regressed in the progress she had made and continued to grow. She had requested him to take control whenever she faltered and push her to become a better mate when they were on theAbyss—and he wasn’t going to fail her now.
