It didn’t take long for them to feel the peak coming. Peet reached between their bodies and plucked at her clit. Natalie tried to scream out her orgasm but the feeling was so intense
, it stole her breath. Both her mates soon followed her over the edge into soul-shattering oblivion.
Reeko pulled away and slumped onto the blanket beside his mate. Natalie, still in Peet’s arms
, could feel the heat of Reeko’s skin behind her.
Unable to speak as yet, they caught their breath even as they allowed their hands to wander. Natalie sat up
. Turning around, she knelt, and then sat back on her heels.
Reaching out with both hands
, she touched the chests of both her men.
“Race you to the water!” she yelled as she jumped up and ran to the nearby pond.
Peet and Reeko easily caught up with her. Instead of racing, they picked her up between them and ran into the water, laughing with her. When they were hip deep, Natalie was just over waist deep.
“Before we swim with you, you need to remove
our wings,” said Peet.
“Oh, I forgot! Quick, get out of the water
; they shouldn’t get wet,” she said.
“We’ll be alright, but we’ll get out so you can lay them down on the grass. Most Nephilim display their wings in their home,” said Reeko.
“Is this going to hurt you?” Natalie asked in a shaky voice.
Her mates could see the worry in her eyes.
"The pain is minimal; they are already loosening,” said Peet, turning his back to her.
“
The openings in our backs will close up within a couple of hours. The water will ease the sting,” said Reeko.
She thought it was a little gross, but there was very little blood and some clear viscous fluid leaking from where the wings attached. She removed the first wing with a yank.
Just like taking off a Band-Aid
, she thought.
As she removed each wing, the clear fluid
wet her fingers and the scent wafted through the air. Another wave of lusty arousal washed over her and she became hot and flushed. Peet had turned back to her as she finished with his wings and she was removing Reeko’s.
Stepping close to her back
, he wrapped his arms around her and began squeezing her breasts and nipples. He used one hand to move aside her hair. Then he leaned over and nibbled his way across her shoulder, up the side of her neck and around her ear, leaving a sensation of heat as he went along. Natalie turned her head so he would have better access and waited for him to reach her mouth. She dropped the last wing. Reeko set the wings aside and dropped to his knees, taking her breast in his hand and sucking the nipple hard and deep against the roof of his mouth.
Natalie felt her own knees going weak
. Luckily, Peet held her up. Once again, she could feel her secondary windpipe opening as her throat swelled and her glands emitted more and more liquid. She pushed Reeko back, bending over at the waist, she took him in her mouth. When she felt him hit the back of her throat, she swallowed. She felt more than heard the pop as he went down her throat. Every time she took him deeper, his cock rubbed over the swollen tissues at the back of her throat, pushing her toward orgasm. She could feel it coming but couldn’t quite get there.
“Peet, I’m on the edge and so is Natalie. Help her out,” said Reeko in a thick voice.
Peet was standing enthralled, as he watched his mate take his brother. Suddenly, Natalie wiggled her ass, which was resting against his thighs. He got the message. When he looked down, her juices were leaking and smearing both her thighs and his. He wanted to taste her so badly!
He went down on his own knees and used his fingers to pull apart her folds, then pressed his face in so he could flick his tongue inside her. He drank her while he used his thumbs to torment her clit. She moaned and Reeko jerked as the sensation vibrated up his cock. He began to go off and Natalie rushed to swallow all she could. Reeko’s orgasm triggered her own
. As she tightened her muscles, Peet rose and slammed deep inside her, letting her spasms milk him as he followed them both into ecstasy. Shouting out his own release, he braced his legs so he wouldn’t fall on her.
Reeko recovered first
. He plucked Natalie from Peet’s arms and took Natalie back into the pond to wash them both.
The three of them spent the next several hours frolicking in the pond and making love many times over. Peet was getting
a lustful look in his eye again when Natalie held out a hand.
“No more sex until you feed me. We have an entire picnic basket of food. I say we stop to eat,” she said.
“Only if we don’t dress, I don’t want you to put your clothing back on until it’s time to leave,” said Reeko.
“I can go along with that,” she said
, walking out of the water.
It was a warm day and they all
enjoyed being out in the sun—especially after spending several months in space—first on the Earth Gate station and now on the Explorer.
As they sat eating, it didn’t take long for Peet and Reeko to turn the meal into another form of seduction. Natalie was glad she wasn’t wearing clothes when they covered her body with juice
s from the many choices of fruit and then proceeded to lick them up.
It was nearly dark when they finally called for the shuttle to return and pick them up.
Upon returning to the ship, she was greeted by Cassandra, Jennifer, and Marta.
“Come
along, Nat—we’re going to escort you three to your new quarters. We spent the afternoon setting it up for you,” said Jennifer with a smile.
Natalie realized she was starting a new phase of her life. She hoped Jennifer
—her best friend and roommate since college—would be okay without her.
Jennifer, seeing the look on Natalie’s face, knew exactly what she was thinking. “Don’t worry
, Nat, I won’t be lonely. Cassie and Marta are moving in with me.”
Natalie sprang forward to hug her friend. “Oh,
that’s great! I was worried about you.”
The four ladies all started talking
together as they walked out of the shuttle bay. Behind them, Peet, Reeko, and Hakor followed closely.
Delpha, Zephyr
, and Rapha, the head of the medical staff on board the Explorer, ran into the surgery bay. An orderly had already rushed the patient in. They were performing emergency surgery when the alarm went off on their second critical patient.
“You’ve got this?” Rapha asked
, looking at his brothers. At their nod, he ran from main surgery into the next one as the patient was wheeled in. Catherine rushed in to assist.
Word spread quickly through both ships and additional medical personnel arrived to help however they could.
The waiting room filled up, as well as the corridor outside. Hakor sat in the chair closest to the hall to the surgery wing with Maggie in his lap. Standing tall in the doorway was Commander Thors. Natalie was on Peet’s lap and held Maggie’s hand. Everyone held their breath and waited to see if their friend and crewmate would live.
Arjun was also in the waiting room. He felt responsible for Makor’s injury because he was the one who had over-ridden the code and ordered them all through the
Gate.
In the queen’s quarters, Addie was asleep in her bed, snuggled in between Kylan and Rune. Suddenly she woke.
“Kylan! Rune! Get up!” she shouted.
She was frustrated because with them beside her, she was hemmed in and could barely move.
“What―is it the babies?” asked Kylan as he leaped from the bed.
“Help me up, now!” she said as she began to glow.
Her torso was glowing brighter than the rest of her body, the light coming through her negligee.
The two men jumped up from the bed and helped her sit up on the edge. Addie had them slip a dress over her nude body.
“Get me to medical as fast as you can,” she said.
At this point, there was a golden aura surrounding her.
Rune picked her up in his arms and the three of them left the room and
their quarters. The two warriors at the door, when they saw the looks in Rune’s and Kylan’s eyes, turned. One led the way while the other followed behind.
The warrior in the lead rushed ahead to clear the corridor as they knew of the emergencies and the area surrounding medical was very crowded.
As Addie was being carried to medical, Catherine and Rapha were working feverishly to save the life of Makor. He’d suddenly gone into cardiac arrest. Also, BianCa’s heart had decided to give up; it wasn’t healing. Delpha and Zephyr hoped they could keep her alive long enough for the heart they were growing to be ready for transplant. They needed another four days and were worried they wouldn’t make it.
Maggie and Natalie were still holding hands, whispering to each other when they heard a noise coming from the corridor. The warriors who filled the space began to move
back, pressing into the walls. Many were forming a line and streaming out of the room to the left. Natalie was wondering why none were leaving the room and going right, when she saw a bright glow.
She recognized the warrior who ran in as one of Addie’s door guards. Next
, she saw Kylan and then Rune carrying Addie through.
Arjun stepped forward and halted. “Addie! Is it the babies?
We shouldn’t have made love to you so vigorously.”
Rune started to go through the doorway to get to the delivery room which was always prepared when Addie spoke again.
“Take me to Makor’s surgery room! I’m fine, I promise you. But something is wrong with Makor; he’ll die if you don’t get me to medical right away,” she said.
Arjun was about to argue when he
saw she was glowing and letting off golden sparks. He turned and led the way down the hall. When they got to the surgery, Arjun stepped to the side. Addie motioned Rune to set her down. Rapha and Catherine didn’t pay attention to what was happening at the doorway; they were losing their patient and trying desperately to keep him alive.
Addie took a step forward. She closed her eyes and stretched her hands out to the side. The aura around her became so bright that Rune, Arjun, Rapha
, and Catherine had to step back and shield their eyes. A light burst from her chest in a wave of gold and washed over Makor, surrounding him. He rose from the table, wrapped in the golden light, his body turning around in the air. The body turned a total of three times and then floated back down to the table. The golden waves flowed back into Addie’s body. She put down her arms and turned back to her mates.
“Take me to BianCa now,” said Addie
in a soft voice.
Rune stepped forward and picked her up again. Once again, Arjun led the way. He was in awe of his mate. What she was doing now was amazing. He’d never heard of any previous
Nam-Nin
having the amount of power Addie held.
It didn’t take long to reach the other surgery. This time, Rune didn’t wait for Addie to tell him to put her down. Once again, Addie began to glow. She repeated her actions of before and the glow became so bright the medicals had to step back and cover their eyes. BianCa also rose in the air and was enveloped in the golden glow flowing from Addie’s chest. Like before, the body turned in the light three times before slowly settling down once again. The light waves flowed back into Addie’s body
. She lowered her arms and opened her eyes.
“Okay, I’m very tired now
, take me—” she passed out before she could finish her sentence.
After the medical assured them she was only asleep
, Rune caught her to his chest and the three of them left to get her back to her quarters so she could rest. They would stay awake for the remainder of the night and monitor her.
Catherine
and Rapha uncovered their eyes as the light faded and quickly turned to their patient. Resting in the tray filled with about six inches of thick blue healing gel, was Makor. All of his burns were healed; his skin held no scars or wounds. Addie and her
Ankida
had left the room. Both took up instruments and began to scan his vital signs when he opened his eyes.
“Ejecting fuel―life support is low―fire, f
ire!” shouted Makor, sitting up.
“Easy, you’re fine. Everything is going to be fine,” said Rapha, laughing with pure joy. He wasn’t going to have to tell Maggie her mate was dead.
Makor looked down at his body in shock; he was completely healed. “Did you keep me unconscious until I was healed? Am I going to need much therapy to strengthen my muscles?” he asked.
Rapha couldn’t help the grin on his face. Looking at his mate, he could see
Catherine was smiling through her tears. She was as amazed and thrilled as he was. She went to the wall and pressed a panel; it opened. She reached in and removed a set of surgical scrubs.
“You were injured a little over a month ago,” Rapha started to say.
“A month―how can this be possible?” he asked as Catherine handed him the scrubs.
As much as he wished to continue staring and touching his newly healed skin from the charred blackened mess he had seen in his cockpit before he
lost consciousness, he also knew Rapha wouldn’t appreciate him remaining naked in front of his mate.
Once again, he was surprised when he was able to jump down from the table with ease. He hadn’t used any of his muscles for a month and yet it felt as if he were in top shape.
“You may want to wash off the gel before dressing,” said Catherine.
Rapha showed Makor where he could cleanse himself. There was an alcove where the doctors
washed before surgery. Makor used it but he kept Rapha in sight; he had questions.
“How?” it was the one and only question he needed answered
as Catherine slipped from the room.
Rapha grinned again and then he explained
how the
Nam-Nin
had saved his life.

Down the hall in the other surgery, BianCa woke. The last thing she remembered was jumping in front of Natalie before her husband could blast her.
“There’s a bomb!” she shouted, sitting up in the bed.
“Relax, it was taken care of. Right now, we’re more concerned
about you. How do you feel?” asked Zephyr.
It was at this point when BianCa realized she was naked in front of two men. She ben
t her knees and wrapped her arms around them.
“Why am I in this room with no clothes on?” she wanted to know.
She was nervous and confused. What did they want with her? What were they going to do?
“You took
a shot of some type of projectile to the chest. Your heart was severely damaged,” explained Delpha.
As
Zephyr went to a wall panel, he took out a sheet and some surgical scrubs. He put the scrubs on the table and then opened the sheet, handing a corner to Delpha as he continued to explain.
BianCa scrambled into the scrubs as she tried to understand what they were saying. Then she remembered the pain. After she had put on the pants, she ran her hands over her chest and between her breasts. There wasn’t even a scar.
“How is this possible?” she asked.
“It was the
Nam-Nin
; she healed you,” Delpha said in a quiet voice filled with awe.
“There was a voice, talking to me. I remember hearing stories.
Whose were they?” she asked as she put on the top.
“Commander Thors was placed in your room as your personal guard, as a precaution. Are you finished dressing?”
asked Zephyr.
“Oh, yes. You can lower the sheet now,” she said, hopping down from the table. “Where is he now?” she asked as they lowered the sheet.
“Probably in the waiting room,” said Delpha.
“Show me,” she said
, and they left the room.
It didn’t even bother her that she wasn’t wearing any shoes or undergarments. She rushed behind them and turning a corner, saw another patient coming from the other
end of the corridor. He was much larger than she and closer to the doorway of the waiting room. As she approached, she heard the commotion his appearance created. People were shouting; someone was crying; someone was laughing.
She was only a few steps away now. Standing in the entrance, with his back to her, was the tallest man she had ever seen. Long dark hair ran down his back in a complicated braid or woven pattern. She could see a gold earring in his ear. Along with everyone else, he was clapping and cheering. When she quietly stepped behind him, she saw the other patient holding one of the women to his chest as he kissed her deeply.
“I need you now, please. Let’s go home; I need you.” BianCa heard the woman say. It was then she recognized her. This was the woman whose husband had been burned so badly when his fighter jet was coming through the Gate. BianCa was amazed and realized Addie must have healed him, too.
“Excuse me―are you Commander Thors?” she asked.
Even with all the noise, he heard the voice. A voice he’d been longing to hear for days. Turning swiftly around, he was so happy to see her standing instead of lying so still in her bed, that he picked her up and swung her around.
She put her arms around his neck as he crushed her to his chest. Putting her legs around his waist, she hiked herself up and laid her mouth on his. After listening to his voice for days on end, she knew this man. One of the things she knew is that he wanted her. No one had ever wanted her before. She was going to take this for herself before her brother or anyone else told her she was duty-bound to do something else.
Neither of them heard the cheering going on around them, they were so engrossed with each other.

Hakor led the way through the corridor filled with cheering warriors. Makor followed, carrying Maggie in his arms. Maggie was too busy kissing every spot on Makor’s body she could reach. In her heart, she knew he would live. But in her head, understanding the seriousness of his injuries, she
had believed he would die. So her heart and her head battled constantly. Now she had him in her arms she could feel his heart beating. The clothing he wore was in her way so she tried to take it off him, even though they hadn’t reached their quarters yet.
Hakor opened the door to their quarters and then closed it again when Makor and Maggie came through. Makor made his way to the bedroom and gently put Maggie down on the bed. Not wanting to let go, she grabbed the back of his shirt. He bent over, allowing her to pull it off him as he shucked
his pants. Maggie pulled her dress over her head. In their hurry of getting to the medical bay when the alarm sounded, she hadn’t put on a bra or underpants. Makor feasted his eyes on her.
He stood at the end of the bed, proudly naked, his cock jutting out in front of him. Maggie reached out with her hands and took hold of his hips as she took him deep in her mouth. It wasn’t enough. As good as it felt, she needed his heat, his touch
. She needed him surrounding her and inside her. Pulling back, she turned and crawled to the middle of the bed on all fours. Turning over onto her back, she spread her legs and spoke, “Hurry, cover me, fill me. I need you.”
