She grinned at him. “I guess I got my answer.”

He turned to face her after shutting off the engine and removing his helmet. “I’m going to try and meet you halfway like you said, but it won’t be easy. I might disappoint you at times.” He undid her helmet and leaned forward to brush a kiss across her mouth.

Her hand cupped the side of his face. His words had warmed her heart. She understood how difficult it had been for such a controlling man to pull back and see her side. He was probably right. It wouldn’t go smoothly, but he agreed to try. For now, that was enough.

Hakan waved from the doorway. “I heard the helo. Glad to see you both back in one piece.”

“Did you think the bad guy might get us?” Kira teased.

“No. I thought you two might get into a tangle without me around.”

“Oh, we tangled, but I didn’t need your help,” Rex said, smiling.

Kira blushed and laughed as they entered the great room. She walked right to the fireplace and put out her hands. “It’s getting colder outside. This feels good.”

Hakan headed to the kitchen. “I brought pizza home. When you’re ready, we can eat.”

She frowned at Lonato. “This will be my fourth meal today. Are you two determined to fatten me up?”

“We want to see you get your strength back, and a few pounds will only make you curvier.”

“Humph, I’m not going to eat this way every day.”

“I know. That’s why we have to fill you up while we have a chance. Come on. We’ll eat, and then sit in front of the fire to talk.”

“I’ll be right there. I want to call Mom and Dad first.” She punched in their number. “Hi, Mom.”

“Kira, I was wondering when you were coming home.”

“I’m at Hakan and Rex’s house. Don’t worry about me.”

“Your dad said hello. Now that I know who you’re with I’m all right. They’ll keep you safe.”

“Talk to you later, Mom. Bye.” She hung up and, smelling the pizza, she headed to the kitchen. Surprisingly, she was hungry again.

After three pieces of pizza, salad, and chocolate ice cream and cookies, Kira was stuffed. “I can’t move. I’m too full.”

Hakan laughed and pulled her out of her seat. “No being lazy. You get to clean the table and throw out the paper plates.”

“I can see you two will be slave drivers for whomever you marry.” She pretended to grumble.

“We’re marrying you. I thought we told you. Our minds are made up.” Hakan swatted her lightly on her butt.

“Hmmm, we’ll see.”

Rex pushed back his chair and walked off. Kira glanced at Hakan.

“Is he all right?”

“Yes, give him time.”

Kira heard classical music begin to play. “He said music relaxed him. We’re having a talk tonight. I guess he’s not totally comfortable with sharing.”

“That’s an understatement. The fact he’s agreed to try and share with you is a major step forward.”

“Good to know. I’m going to join him. Give us a few minutes alone.”

“Will do. I’ll go to my room and read. Knock on my door when the coast is clear.”

Kira waited until he’d left the kitchen and gone down the other hall before she went and sat in a chair opposite Lonato.

“You never knew you could hear telepathically?” Kira asked.

“I haven’t heard anyone else. It has to be something exclusive to you and me. I’ve never understood why my blood was different. I’ve kept it a secret from most people, but it’s out now. It seems since meeting you I’m discovering more about myself. Whether I want to or not,” he added.

“You and I are more alike than I previously thought. My guess is you’ve put on a persona to keep people from knowing the real you. In the process, you’ve denied parts of yourself.”

He drummed his fingers against the chair. “My parents don’t have any unusual abilities like me.”

“Then you must have inherited them from your ancestors. Are there other things you’ve noticed?”

He frowned. “My scent is heightened, and my reflexes like a few others of us, are excellent. That helps me be a first-rate surgeon.” He ran his hand through his hair and narrowed his eyes. “Does this information satisfy you for now? I’m not going to be able to open my mouth and spill my guts.”

Laughter bubbled out of her. “I don’t expect you to ever do that. But as we get to know each other, maybe you’ll think of something and share it with me at that moment.” The relief that showed in his face almost made her laugh again. She got out of her chair and curled up in his lap. Her head nuzzled into his shoulder.

“You smell good, and it feels comfortable to be here with you.” She closed her eyes and went to sleep again.

“No one knocked on my door, so I took a chance and wandered out. There was no hollering, so I thought I’d join you,” Hakan said.

“She keeps falling asleep. Tomorrow, I’ll have her hemoglobin checked. She probably needs another pint of blood. Hopefully our insane killer will wait before he attacks again.”

Hakan sprawled in the chair where Kira had sat. “Who can it be? We must know the person, like we knew Gala. They say she described him as the devil.”

“The only devil I know is Pearce.” He immediately thought of the times when they were kids. Pearce often pretended Rex was teasing him, bothering, pinching him, anything to make their parents scold Rex. Then he’d stand behind with a wicked gleam in his eyes.

“But you’re the only one that sees him that way.”

“I know.” Still, Rex had trouble getting rid of that thought. “I’m going to put her in my bed. I’ll sleep in the extra bedroom tonight.”

“I suppose we do have to be gallant and let her rest. Who’s first for the cold shower, you or me?”

Rex shook his head and carried her to the master bedroom. She didn’t stir when he placed her on the bed. After he removed most of her clothes and her shoes, he covered her. Then he stayed a moment to study her face. She’d become very important to him in a short span of time. He’d protect her with his life, if necessary.

If I’m right about Pearce, this is one person he won’t take away from me. I’ve always mistrusted him and believed there was something inherently wrong with him. If my suspicions are right, I may have to kill him to keep her safe. My mother will never forgive me.

Rex walked softly out of the room and closed the door.

Kira twisted in her sleep. Darkness surrounded her, and she smelled the evil. She was running down a narrow path, and no matter how fast she ran, the blackness came closer to her until the thick, black curtains brushed against her arms. The air got colder, and a voice rang in her ears.

Come to me. I need your help. You can be my queen.

“No.” She pushed at the dark encroaching closer to her body. Her hands slipped into the slimy mist, and she jerked her them back. The darkness began to surround her, smother her. “Help,” she screamed and sat up in bed.

Her door slammed open, and Lonato and Hakan rushed to the bed. Hakan grabbed her up into his arms. Lonato ran his hand along her face, her throat, checking her body.

“It’s all right, darling. We’re here.” Hakan unfastened his jeans and got into bed beside her.

She cuddled into his arms. Lonato turned off the light and lay down on her other side. His hands massaged across her shoulders.

Lonato whispered in her ear. “Can you tell us what happened?”

“It was so dark and cold, and I could smell the evil. I was running down a narrow path. The blackness got closer and closer until it touched my hands and arms.” She shivered, and Lonato moved against her backside.

“What does evil smell like?” Lonato asked.

“Like something sour or rotten,” she answered.

Her arms clung around Hakan’s neck. He covered her face with light kisses and licked away the few tears that had run down her cheeks. She felt safe and comforted. The tears stopped as she hugged his neck tighter.

“We’ll protect you,” Hakan reassured her. His warm hand cupped her breast and rubbed across her plump nipple. “Do you feel up to us loving you?”

She realized she was sandwiched in between the two of them. “I’ve never been with two men at once.”

“We’ll see you like it,” Lonato said. He blew his breath across her neck. Kira felt a quick flutter in her belly. He bit the edge of her shoulder, and heat quickly kindled into a decadent craving. Her pussy clenched, and moisture seeped out of her.

Lonato pulled her panties down, and then reached around to her front and put two fingers into her pussy. He rubbed against her G-spot, and scintillating euphoria shot from her deepest core outward.

Hakan had removed her bra. He slid downward to face her breasts and held them in his warm hands. His fingers rubbed across the peaks. When he lowered his mouth and sucked on one, her heart pounded in her chest and she gasped for breath.

Meanwhile, Lonato moved his fingers in and out of her pussy. His hard cock pulsed against her backside, and the essence of their arousal scented the air. His mouth kissed her shoulders and along her spine.

“Hakan, I’m going to pull her hips up.” Lonato put his arm around her waist and lifted her butt in the air, putting her body weight on her knees and arms. He stepped away from the bed for a second. Hakan moved in front of her where his dick was level with her mouth.

Kira licked across the crown of his cock and then closed her mouth around him. Moving her head up and down the length of his large cock, she took him in deeper with each upward stroke. Hakan held her head in his hands.

“I’m back. Spread your legs a little wider.” Lonato spoke from behind her. She did as he said, and he rubbed his cock along her tender folds. Positioning his cock at her pussy opening, he slowly entered her from the back. His fingers tightened on her nipples. Passion swirled through her veins. Her hunger for them became a voracious need sending her hips moving to meet Lonato’s every thrust.

Kira tightened her lips around Hakan’s cock and moved her head up and down his length faster and faster. Her only awareness was of the two men surrounding her and the pleasure building into a crescendo inside her. When she sucked again on Hakan, he groaned, held her head tight, and she tasted his salty release. Hakan kissed her and moved backward on the bed.

Lonato had slowed his strokes, but now he plunged in deeper. He had a hand around her breast and rubbed her clit with his fingers. Her hips met his every thrust, and her breast filled his hand. Each stroke sent her temperature higher, and a wave of pure pleasure rolled from her feet, up and over her. Her pussy throbbed with delight and tightened around his cock. He thrust in one more time and stilled, holding himself tight against her womb as he found his gratification.
