of her body where they rested, and her nerves
fired in response. What had she just agreed to do? “We will show you our home.
Here on Earth, that is. We have a much finer dwelling on Alpha and will
certainly be searching for larger when we return—”
Felix
made a hissing sound, and his bondmate subsided to quiet as they all strained
to listen for more noise outside. Suddenly, Felix released his hold on her and
scrambled up on top of a battered wood table where he leaned against the door,
his face pressed to a transom window she hadn’t noticed before. His broad
shoulders bunched as he spread his hands wide against the wall. Mikel allowed
his hands to stroke against her body, and for a wild moment she wished the
other Alphan would turn around and watch the caresses. “Our way is clear.
Whoever it was is gone.”
He
glanced back at them, and her wish was granted. By this point, Mikel had slid
both hands up under her heavy breasts, not cupping them, but still framing them
for his bondmate’s view. And she’d let him, even though she knew her nipples
were poking through the thin dress material, knew that press of support made
her look even more endowed than she was. Heat poured through her body, and she
shivered when Felix jumped down and crowded close, his gaze never leaving her
chest. For a heart-stopping moment, she feared what would happen next, but when
he reached out with a low growl and framed his palms against the sides of her
breasts, she melted. The sensation of all those fingers, those four broad palms
grazing along and not even coming close to her nipples, weakened her knees so
much that she fell back to Mikel, which was like leaning against a warm,
breathing wall. Her position was such that she could feel his hips against her
lower back, and what was surely a thick erection rubbing along her spine.
“Will
you come with us now?” Felix breathed out, and all she could do was nod. She
was going to break her rule and enter the Alphan compound, socialize with men
unchaperoned, make herself vulnerable to whatever they might desire.

Alisa was in their presence. Right now she was seated on their sofa, nearly
lost in the depth of cushions Alphans favored for
seating. They’d hurried her in to their apartment via a back entrance,
unwilling to have any of their fellows get a glance at her. Insecurity flooded
him, as he knew it did Felix. Neither one of them wanted to
expose her to any other man, at least not until she’d well and truly bonded
with them.
Now
that she was here, where they’d dreamed of having her since meeting her those
few days ago, they didn’t quite know what to do with her. Those furtive kisses
and touches in that dirty room had fired his arousal to a painful point, but he
knew if he simply stripped off his clothing and freed his swollen shaft as it
demanded, he’d frighten her away. Biology’s direction was clear: copulate with
Alisa now, and as often as possible in the future. But
society, both hers and theirs, demanded a more deliberate approach.
Felix
returned from the kitchen with a glass of water, clearly poured hastily since
drops pattered to the floor as he handed it over to her. She took a polite sip
and then struggled to reach a nearby table to set it down.
Wanting
to help, he leaned forward to take it from her, and his hand collided with
hers, spraying cold liquid all over her dress. Her mouth opened in shock as her
hands flew up. Mikel’s stomach plummeted. He was as humiliated as he’d been
when he’d fallen face-first into the pit of gnarn worms on the cadre’s obstacle course years ago.
“Oaf.” Felix’s tone
