pockets. I have nowhere to carry a hanky in this…this whatever this is.”
    Lorcan stepped up behind her, wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. “Are you agreeing to the bonding because you feel you must, or because you want this, Dana?”
    “I—I…” her breath hitched. “I don’t know. I only know that I have never wanted a man the way I want you two, and it makes me feel wanton like one of Agatha’s painted ladies.” She shook her head. “I don’t know what this is. All I know is that I want the right to reach up and push your hair from your forehead when it falls in disarray. I want the right to feel your arms around me as they are now without feeling as though it’s wrong.” She looked up at him. “You did say it isn’t wrong for one woman to take two of your men as husbands, didn’t you?”
    “Yes, love. I did.” Lorcan kissed her temple. Her intoxicating scent filled his nostrils, and his cock grew harder than it ever had before. This was it. This was the way he should feel when he held his mate in his arms.
    The chime on the multi-lift announced a new arrival, and Lorcan stepped back in case it wasn’t Tarin. He didn’t want to embarrass Dana. Her antiquated beliefs would no doubt send her into some kind of self-conscious fit if someone were to see her in his arms without the benefit of a mate bond.
    Tarin stepped out of the lift, his smile fading as he saw Dana’s expression. “Has she refused?”
    “No.” Lorcan shook his head. “I refused her when I thought she accepted us out of some misguided obligation.”
    “Oh.” His shoulders slumped. “And?”
    “It’s been clarified.” He turned to open the door and waved his arm at Tarin. “You do the honors, old friend. I don’t want to screw this part up as well.”

Chapter Ten
     
    Dana gasped as Tarin bent and scooped her up in his arms. Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around his neck. She loved to feel the warmth of his body as it soaked into hers.
    It felt odd. Both right and wrong. How would she ever come to terms with the way she felt about these two men? Would she ever gather the nerve to actually let them touch her body in the ways that the strumpets at Agatha’s establishment had told her about?
    She watched as Lorcan entered the decadent-looking room. There were lounges and pillows everywhere. Mattresses lay on the floor covered in thick silken coverlets. A pool sat in the center of the room, a large fountain sprayed steaming water from the top like simulated rain.
    He walked to one of the food devices she’d seen Tarin use and, after pushing a few buttons, turned around with three glasses in hand. He handed her a glass with a bubbling pink liquid that she knew must be champagne.
    Taking a sip, Dana smiled. “It’s delicious.”
    “Drink it, our mate, and soon you will feel better.”
    Just one sip and she already did. Warmth stole through her and relaxed her muscles. Another sip had her rolling her head back and forth on her shoulders. Nothing had ever made her feel so calm.
    One would think a step like this would make her nervous. Dana searched her thoughts. Nothing. She glanced at the two men who waited to make her theirs and smiled. “What are you waiting for?” She winked at them like she’d seen Molly do with one of her visitors.
    “We await your empty glass, our mate.”
    Dana took another sip of her delicious champagne and licked her lips slowly. “Mmm… this is good.” With a grin, she ran her finger around the rim of the glass and sauntered over to her two men and leaned her hip against the back of a lounger. “I think I want to savor it.”
    Taking another sip, she tilted her head back and swallowed, allowing the men to see her throat work. Another of Agatha’s girls, Emily, told her that all men loved to see a woman swallow. She thought that a bit odd but swallowed again for good measure.
    With a frown, she lowered her glass. “It’s gone.” Her bottom lip thrust out, and she could
