Talson Temptations 3: Talson's Net (12 page)
At mention of the giant, Val felt a question in his brain.
Rowe lowered her shields. “I can’t help it. I’m trying to be
better about it, but dammit. You’re mine now. Feeling for Quinn the way I do, I
see a whole new side to Selection and The Testing. I just need to adjust to the
fact that Adri’s so pretty.”
“But you’re prettier than she is.” He let her see the truth
he felt. “Better now?”
She laughed. “Am I petty if I say yes?”
“Not at all. I can still tolerate Quinn, but only because
you obviously prefer stamina and finesse to brawn.” He liked the guy a lot more
than he’d ever thought he would. Quinn had courage, and he’d had Rowe’s back.
Val would always call the man friend.
“I heard that.”
Val hadn’t sensed the Otra’s approach. He scowled at his
half-dressed
eda
entering the bedroom, and his libido woke once more.
“What the hell are you doing here?”
“You’re welcome for saving your ass earlier.” Quinn huffed
as he dropped his trousers and stood before them without a stitch of clothing,
and with a huge hard-on.
“Thanks.” Val did his best not to smile. He had a feeling he
knew what all the whispering between his mate and Quinn had been about before.
“Now what’s this?”
Rowe captured him with her
psychei
, because he hadn’t
been prepared to defend himself.
“Just relax, sweetheart. Don’t move a muscle.” She teased
him with kisses down his body and Quinn joined them in bed.
“Shit.”
She chuckled. “You know I love you. But it’s my turn to
play. Quinn thinks you’ll like what he has planned. And I
know
I want to
see it.”
He groaned. “Getting me back, eh?”
“Actually,
I’m
planning on getting you back,” Quinn
said. “And trust me, you’re gonna come like a rocket.”
Rowe laughed as Quinn rolled Val onto his side and moved
behind him on the bed. She sat up and stared down at them.
Val could feel Quinn’s thick cock pressed against the seam
of his ass. And Stars, but he wanted to feel more. Wanted to feel breached as
he came deep in his
iriu
. Loving her while getting taken. Sounded good
to him, though he wasn’t sure he wanted to admit it. Then he didn’t have to,
because he knew she’d read him.
Her eyes sparkled with joy. “Thanks for this, Quinn. It’s
been haunting me that I missed you two together. You’re both the stars of my
new fantasies.”
Val flushed and hoped he didn’t come in two seconds like he
had last time.
Oh shit.
Would Quinn really fuck him? Would he like it?
More, would Rowe?
Rowe gripped his erection. Quinn reached around him and put
his hand over hers, squeezing another moan out of him.
“Relax,
iriu
. My love is unconditional. And, well, I
want to see you two go at it. I missed that before.” Rowe kissed him again,
this time with a gentleness that made his heart turn over in his chest. “Loving
you, Val, makes me whole.”
“Yeah.” Female satisfaction, lust and love conquered his
heart, and though he couldn’t move from Quinn’s embrace, he caressed her with
his energy. “Snaring you was the smartest thing I’ve ever done. I guess I
finally realized who’s in charge around here.”
Quinn chuckled and ground against him. “Rowe is.”
“You got that right.” Val smiled. The happiness in her heart
brought tears to his eyes. He tried in vain to blink them away.
Answering tears made Rowe’s eyes glassy.
Surrounded by his
iriu
and
eda
, Val couldn’t
have been more pleased. “Don’t think these tears are for you, Quinn. I’m crying
because I’m afraid of what my mate has in store for me. Rumor has it she’s got
a mean streak.”
She brushed the moisture from his cheek while Quinn’s mouth
trailed down his neck.
He sucked in a breath when Quinn nipped him, then tucked the
head of his cock into Val’s anus. Rowe kissed him hard, and Quinn teased him,
not penetrating, but hinting at more with slow jabs.
“Christ. You two are killing me.”
But I’ll never love you
more
, he sent her.
“Wimp.” Rowe kissed his throat and pinched his nipples.
“Bully.”
I love you.
