touched her deeply. Sonja hadn’t meant to eavesdrop, but when she’d left Deacon’s room she’d heard their voices and followed them down the narrow corridor. Her brazen courage of the night before had faded, and she hadn’t even been sure what to say to them now. What if they had changed their minds?
Listening to their conversation had disabused her of that notion. They still wanted her, and as she watched them, she knew she still wanted them, too. They were so different, but she wanted them both.
“What are you laughing at? ” Deke asked, pushing out of his chair to stand next to Trevar.
“The two of you. You’re really cute when you bicker at each other. How long have you been friends, anyway? Because you sound like my brothers. Well, one of them. Nicolai bitches and snarks at his best friend the same way. They were at it all the way to the ceremony yesterday. I thought Alayna was going to smack them both by the time we got there. Alayna is my new sister-in-law…and I’m babbling, aren’t I?”
“You are. It’s adorable. And I need you to back up a bit there. Is that why you were all dressed up and on the base last night? You were at the base generals’ bonding ceremony?”
“Well, yeah. Not even my parents were going to keep me away from my brother’s bonding ceremony, though I did have to take an extra bodyguard along. Not that it stopped me from running.” She grinned at him.
“Oh, fuck.” Deke groaned and scrubbed a hand over his beard.
“You’re brother’s the general in charge of Fort Saken? I thought his name was Neilson?”
“That’s my brother’s partner, Colin. They run the place together though, Nikolai runs security.”
“Kitten, you are going to be the death of us, you know that, right? Just so I’m clear on the details, your family is rich and happen to own one of the biggest robotics companies on the damned planet, if not the whole system. And your brother is the commanding officer in charge of the base we stole you off of? Anything else you want to tell us? Is your mom on the Council of Regents? Maybe you’re related to High Commander Jax fucking Spartan? Yeah, I bet you’re cousins…”
She laughed and shook her head. “Nope, not related to the Spartan family. I’ve met them, though. Lovely people, and Jax’s sister is a lot of fun.”
“Of course you have,” Deke groaned again and then crossed his arms across his impressively broad chest. “Anything else?”
“Nothing comes to mind.”
“Good,” Trevar said and gave her a slow smile as his eyes raked over her half-dressed body. She could feel his gaze like a physical caress, and goose bumps chased up her arms as her body responded to the fire flickering in his slate-gray eyes. She glanced over at Deke and found him looking at her with an expression as hungry as his partner’s. She’d offered herself to both of them, and by the stars, it looked like she was going to get them. Soon.
They seemed bigger today, filling the room with both their physical presence and the power of their personalities. Trevar’s hair was as dark and wavy as she remembered it, but there were a few flecks of silver at his temples that she hadn’t noticed the night before. He was slightly taller than Deke, with a powerful frame packed with muscle.
Deacon was at least six-foot seven, and his uniform fit every inch of him to perfection. He was immaculate, from his polished boots to his perfectly brushed hair, and Sonja yearned to rumple his shirt and run her hands through his hair until it was standing on end.
“Like what you see?” Trevar’s question came out as a roughened growl as he took a step toward her, then another. She felt like rabbit being hunted by a pair of eagles, if the eagles were really, really big.
“If I say yes, what happens next?”
Deke actually chuckled at that. “What would you like to happen, sweetheart?”
“Um….” She lifted her hands, palms up, as she struggled to find the right
