STORY EXCERPT

“You want me to do what?” District Attorney Elliot Reynolds raked his fingers through his short brown hair while small drops of sweat trickled down his flushed face.

Zintssar, the oldest brother of the Arridian clan, took a deep, calming breath. He’d been negotiating treaties between his home planet and other worlds for years. But this was personal, and he was quickly losing patience. “We want you to make arrangements for us to take Jenilyn Montgomery with us when we travel home.”

Elliot’s eyes widened, and his hand came up to lightly clasp his throat. “You’re talking about the young woman that was arraigned on embezzlement charges.”

Zintssar nodded. “Yes, the female with long brown hair and green eyes. We want to take her to Kilara.”

The district attorney paced back and forth in the small room. “I don’t understand.”

Zintssar sighed and glanced over at his brothers. Kernztssar, better known as Kernz, looked as if he could happily dismember the disagreeable human, while Xortztssar appeared bored. “We live on Kilara now. Perhaps you’ve heard of the Federation’s program to cultivate habitable planets for food. Our home world, Arridia, was awarded a spot on Kilara. My brothers and I are going to make it our home for the next year or so.”

Elliot frowned and gave a slight shake of his head. “No, I mean I don’t understand why you want Ms. Montgomery.”

“She’s our destined mate.”

Elliot took a couple of shuffling steps back, his mouth dropping open. “She’s your…I mean, how…When did you meet her?”

Zintssar struggled not to laugh at the struggling man. “We haven’t met her yet.”

“Then how do you know she’s your mate?”

“Because her scent draws me like none other ever has before.” The eldest son, and only the eldest, in an Arridian clan could recognize their mate from her scent. The brothers were destined to share the same mate, as their fathers before them. Zintssar took two steps and looked down on the human male. “Will you make the arrangements?”

Elliot’s lips trembled, his hands gripping the back of a chair so hard his knuckles turned white. “I can’t do that, Zintssar. She’s just been arraigned today. She’s got to stand trial for the charges that were brought against her.”

Kernz moved forward to stand next to Zintssar. “How long will that take?”

The district attorney crossed his arms over his chest and raised his chin a fraction of an inch. “It could be anywhere from a month to six months to even get a date for the trial. You know how long it took to bring Edward Davis to trial.”

Zintssar growled softly. He and his brothers were on Earth to testify at Edward’s trial. They had helped their good friends, Andon and Tarik, rescue their mate when Edward kidnapped her and her brother. “We have to wait until some farce of a trial to take our mate home?”

“I’m sorry. I’m not trying to make you angry, but you may never get the chance to take her home. It has to be her decision to accept your claim, and she might be found guilty of the charges brought against her.”

Zintssar shook his head. “No! She’s innocent.”

Elliot pursed his lips, tilting his head to the side. “How do you know that?”

“You wouldn’t understand.” Zintssar shifted his gaze to Kernz and then back to Elliot. “It’s a trait my people have, similar to your telepathy but different. We feel other’s emotions, and there’s a noticeable difference in someone who’s being false. Jenilyn Montgomery is not guilty of the charges against her.”

Sighing, Elliot dropped into a chair. “I’m sorry to say it might not matter, Zintssar. Our people base their opinion on the facts presented in the case. If the facts are compelling enough, the jury will find her guilty.”

Kernz’s nostrils flared, and he moved to stand over the district attorney. “What happens to her if they find her guilty?”

Elliott swallowed hard. “She’ll be sent to a state penitentiary for a set amount of time. The usual sentence is anywhere from ten to twenty years, depending on the circumstances.”

Zintssar felt his canines drop as he suppressed a growl. “Not acceptable.”

Elliot stood and moved toward the door. “You may not have a choice. I’m sorry, but it’s not in my power to just give her to you.”

Zintssar moved forward until he was crowding Elliott against the wall. He felt his lip turn up in a half smile as he watched the nervous tic in the man’s jaw. “Then let me make myself perfectly clear, Mr. Reynolds. We want our mate. Your government has shown great interest in the clean energy sources from our home world, Arridia.” He moved even closer and let his grin widen when his brothers moved in on each side, effectively boxing in the nervous man. “Your world leaders have already begun talks of trade with our father.” He leaned down until his breath stirred the short hairs on Elliot’s head. “I can promise you those talks will stop until we have our mate safely in our home on Kilara.”

ADULT EXCERPT

She let her hand caress Kernz’s chest, pausing to pinch the flat nipples before dipping lower to touch him more intimately. She groaned and abandoned her play when he captured one of her nipples in the moist, warm suction of his lips.

Gently, the men rolled her to her back, and Zin covered the tip of her other breast with his mouth, teasing the sensitive bud of tight flesh. He dragged his teeth lightly over her nipple, massaging it even as he plucked gently, rhythmically at the peak.

Jeni lifted a hand to each of their chests and skated her palms upward, clutching at their shoulders. Gently she pushed and then squirmed out from between them when they lifted away. “Both of you lay down, please.” With small frowns on their faces, both men moved to comply. She watched them get into position and was blindsided by the love she felt. These men are everything to me. I don’t wanna live without them.

Both men lay back, their thick, heavy cocks jutting straight into the air. Their bodies were smooth, sculptured, and muscular. Carefully, she let her fingers curl around Kernz’s erection.

“Flower?” Zin’s voice was low and husky. “It would give me the greatest pleasure to feel your hot lips wrapped around my cock.”

She bit back a laugh. “Patience, Zin. You’ll get your turn.” She could see the tightness in his sac, the prominent veins on his thick shaft. Turning, she bent over Kernz and guided his cock to her mouth, brushing the slit where a drop of pre-cum had formed. Before he could grab her head, she turned on her knees and inched Zin’s legs slightly apart. Bending, she stroked his shaft and then took it into her mouth. She smiled around the hard flesh when she heard his harsh groan. Flicking her tongue out, she dragged it slowly over the rounded tip of his cock, licking the sensitive head with slow deliberation. He sucked in his breath with the first slide of her tongue across the head.

“Goddess!” Zin sat straight up and grabbed Jeni by the shoulders. “She’ll be the death of us both.” Turning swiftly, he laid her flat on her back in the grass. When she opened her eyes, he spread her knees apart. “Now, it’s my turn, flower.” He settled his upper body between her spread thighs and blew softly on her feminine center. She felt fingers brush her thigh just before they moved into her hot sheath. She arched upward, grinding herself against his invading fingers.

Zin worked his fingertips in tiny circles on her sensitive inner thigh and then brushed gently between her legs with his knuckles. She bucked her hips and cried out with his touch. Aggressively, he plunged two fingers into her hot, silky folds. Her cream flowed from her opening, sliding down toward her ass. Without hesitating, he drilled his tongue as deep inside as he could get. “Goddess, you taste even better than you smell.”

“Move, Brother, and give me a taste.” Kernz moved between Jeni’s legs while Zin moved behind her, pulling her up until her back rested against his chest. He watched as his brother lowered his mouth to their woman’s pussy. He licked her clit with the tip of his tongue before he sucked it into his mouth. He could feel Jeni’s deep moan vibrate against his chest. A scant half minute later, she stiffened and cried out Kernz’s name.

Zin gave her a moment to recover and then moved to her side, rolling her to face away from him. As he’d hoped, Kernz came up to cuddle against her front. He let his hands run down her smooth back and then swatted her rump with an open palm. “I want your ass, your perfectly rounded ass.”

Jeni stiffened and pulled closer to Kernz.

Zin leaned in close to her ear. “We won’t hurt you, flower. I give you my promise. I just want to play a little. I won’t take you here today.” He felt her body relax. “That’s our girl.” He ran his tongue down her spine and let it slide into her crack to tease her hole. Leaning back, he pressed the tip of one finger against her anus. He pressed kisses against her back when she whimpered. “Relax, love. Search for the pleasure.”

Reaching between her legs, he moistened one finger in her cream and then spread it around her puckered opening. Moving slowly, he slipped his finger inside, pushing past the first ring of muscle. He smiled when her ass tightened around his finger. “Soon, flower. This will be my cock here while Kernz takes your pussy.” When she moaned he smiled over at Kernz where he watched his finger with interest. “I need to bury my cock inside you now, love. Please get on your hands and knees for me.”
