Severin gave a startled laugh and Ravik rumbled briefly as well.
“Yeah, he does look like an owl.”
After that, the laughter faded and the heat took over.
They undressed her slowly, as though she was something precious being unwrapped. Severin untied the red silk robe and eased it from her shoulders, kissing the place where the fabric had rested. Ravik cupped her face and kissed her again while Severin’s hands moved over her, slow and teasing, stroking her bare skin and making her shiver.
Cassie relaxed completely and let them do whatever they wanted.
She let herself be looked at, stroked, touched, and adored. She let herself feel beautiful between them—not too much or too old or too curvy or too needy. Just theirs. The serum had made her breasts full again, though not painfully so, and when Ravik bent to kiss the upper curve of one, she sighed and threaded her fingers through his dark hair.
“Need to get you ready, baby,” he murmured against her skin. “Need you soft and open for both of us.”
Severin rose from the bed and went to the small cabinet near the wall. He returned with a slender vial filled with pale gold liquid.
Cassie frowned.
“What’s that?”
“Something I thought—hoped—we might need. I brought it from the Mother Ship before we left for Cherubin Three.”
Ravik raised an eyebrow.
“You brought Bonding Fruit liquid?”
Severin lifted his chin with as much dignity as a male could manage while holding a vial of alien liquid especially meant for Bonding Sex.
“I thought it might be useful,” he said. “If both of us took Cassandra at once.”
“If the three of us wanted to try Bonding,” Ravik rumbled.
“Yes.” Severin nodded. “If we wanted to try. If Cassandra was willing to take us both at once…and if you were willing to as well,” he added, looking at his friend.
Cassie’s heart squeezed in her chest.
“Oh, Severin…” she murmured.
“I didn’t want to pressure either of you,” he said quickly. “I simply thought that if the treatment required more than we expected, it would be better to have something that could help you stretch safely.”
Ravik looked at him for a long moment, then he grinned.
“That’s Sev—always prepared.”
Severin’s eyes flicked to his.
“Whenever possible. I know your stretching compounds are good, but I wanted a little extra insurance—to help our lady open for us both.”
The Blood Kindred’s thoughtfulness made Cassie feel warm all over. She also loved watching the interaction between Severin and Ravik. She was starting to understand that their love had always been there, hidden under duty and denial and silence. She had not created it—she had simply become the place where it could finally come into the light.
And now the three of them were going to be together in the most intimate way.
“Give it to me,” she said and Severin uncorked the vial and handed it to her.
“It’s very concentrated,” he told her. “So it’s going to work almost immediately.
“Good—because I need this to happen soon,” Cassie told him. The need iside her was growing and she felt incredibly empty inside. She tipped the vial back and drank the liquid which tasted like peaches and strawberries and—strangely enough—like buttered popcorn. It was delicious. She finished the whole vial and gave it back to Severin who put it away.
Ravik moved between her thighs first, his big hands sliding under her knees as he opened her gently. Cassie’s breath caught at the sight of him there, all broad shoulders and golden eyes and fierce devotion. Severin knelt beside her, stroking her hair back from her face as Ravik lowered his mouth to her.
The first touch of his tongue made her gasp.
He was slow this time—careful. Not the desperate, hungry tasting from the bunker, but something slower. He licked and kissed and teased until Cassie’s body went soft and trembling under his mouth. Every stroke made heat unfurl inside her, and every low sound he made against her skin told her he was taking as much pleasure in preparing her as she was in being prepared.
Severin’s fingers stroked her temple.
“Breathe, sweetheart,” he murmured. “Just relax and let Ravik get you ready for us both.”
“I…I’m trying,” she whispered.
Ravik chose that moment to slip two long fingers into her pussy, making her arch her back and gasp.
“Oh…ohhhh!”
“Need you open,” he rumbled. “Need you ready for us, baby.”
Us—the word sent a deep shiver through her. This time she was going to have both of them inside her at once and she couldn’t wait, even though she had to admit the idea of having two huge cocks inside her at once was a little scary.
Severin uncapped a vial of massage oil and warmed a little of the liquid between his fingers. It smelled faintly sweet and spicy, like ripe fruit and summer rain, and when he stroked her nipples the tingling sensation made Cassie moan and arch her back.
