Upon the Threshold (16 page)

“We cleaned you up as well so you wouldn’t feel sticky when you woke,” Lukkis told her. He settled down on the bed, lounging on his side with his head in a hand and looking up at her. “You were very out of it at the time, and I doubt you even noticed.”

That had her smiling, and she reached out to touch his cheek. “Thank you for doing that for me. For ensuring that I would be comfortable when I woke. I appreciate it, a great deal.”

“It was the right thing to do since we made you faint as you did. Though we were beginning to worry a little just before you woke. Had you been out any longer, we would have had to find a doctor to look you over.”

“I happen to love that you both took care of me as you did. I also love the fact that I did faint. I think that I should try to do that again. It was wonderful.”

“And we will, once you finish your drink. We cannot have you becoming dehydrated. This would cause even more troubles that we don’t want you to face. So, finish your drink and then we will get started on another sexual session,” Lukkis told her.

She felt heat flushing her skin. That was exactly what she wanted and needed. “Okay,” she said with a smile. She drank it down slowly. As she drank, she watched her men, leaning back against one of them and feeling the heat of them engulfing her. She couldn’t stop grinning. “I’m happy,” she thought to tell them in case she had forgotten to tell them earlier. “Very.”

“Then we are doing this correctly,” Kraven said. He plucked the glass from her hand as soon as she finished the drink and set it aside. “Which is good to know as we’ve never done this before and have no idea what we are doing in a mated relationship.”

“Well, I think that you are doing very well. And it’s good that you have never been in a mated relationship before, because that would mean that we didn’t belong together, and I really, really feel that we do belong together.”

“We do belong together, Elisabeth. You were made for us,” he said softly. He brushed her hair aside and nibbled on her jaw gently. “Just relax and enjoy,” he told her. Sliding a hand down her body lightly, he nipped at her skin and flicked her nipple.

Eli’s hands moved into Lukkis’s hair and she held him to her breast as he leaned in to suck her neglected one. She bit her lower lip and did as instructed. She simply relaxed and began to enjoy everything that they were doing.

They moved her a little here and a little there until she was fully facing Lukkis and straddling his thighs. His engorged cock was rubbing her clit with every breath she took. Not hard, more of a tease, and driving her insane.

At her back, Kraven nibbled on her neck and down over her spine. Bending her forward into Lukkis more, Kraven stroked his hands over her skin and dropped kisses everywhere he touched her.

“Do we have to wait and all of us come together at once again?” She hoped not. Good heavens, she had been so desperate when they finally all came together. She was certain that was part of the reason that she fainted when she came. “Please,” she begged Lukkis as she looked down at him.

“No, you don’t have to wait,” he said quietly. Brushing a kiss to her chin, he lifted her and pressed her down over his cock. She was so wet, her pussy weeping so eagerly, that she slid right down over him easily. “Now we can play however we wish, whenever we wish.”

“Oh, thank the stars.” Eli moaned and wrapped her legs around Lukkis’s waist. She whimpered, moved, and begged for more. So very, very much more. “Please,” she begged him. She looked back at Kraven and whispered her need. “I need you. Please.” She was being repetitious, but she didn’t think demanding would do her any good at all.

Kraven looked up and leaned in to kiss her gently. His fingers rubbed lightly over her anus, teasing the tight bud and slipping in just enough to make her clench before pulling back. His lips curled against hers before he bit her lip lightly and drew back. She caught sight of something in his hand before it was pressing into her ass—lubricant, which helped to ease her tight rosebud for Kraven’s hard cock.

“Even the lubricant is making me want to come,” Eli whimpered. “It feels so very, very good. Please, please don’t stop?” she asked desperately. “Add another finger? Tease me, bring me close while Lukkis fucks me?” Okay, so now she was just being plain crude, but she couldn’t help herself. The feelings were too intense, and she needed them to know how she felt every single step of the way.

He gave her what she wanted though, slipping a second finger up into her lubed ass to stroke her. It was a tight fit, not as tight or filling as when they were both buried inside of her, but it was definitely an amazing sensation.

Gasping for air, Eli rode that thin line of pain and pleasure. “Heavens, that feels so good.” Not as good as when they were both inside of her, but she would take anything she could get at this moment in time. “Kraven,” she moaned and then in a near-purr whimpered Lukkis’s name.

“Do you want my cock?” Kraven growled next to her ear. “Do you want me to slide into you, fill you, and fuck you hard? Tell me, Elisabeth, what do you want me to do next?” he asked, his voice getting rougher while his fingers still stroked in and out of her ass with care.

“Yes.” She growled that singular word. There was no other way to say just how she was reacting. She needed, and gods help her, she wanted to have them both fucking her hard. “Hard. Fast. I want everything.”

His breath puffed against her cheek as he laughed. She could feel his chest shaking against her back. “Then hold on to Lukkis and don’t move for a moment.” He withdrew his fingers from her ass, and the bed dipped as he moved into position. She felt the press of his cock to her ass and then the pressure as he pushed in. “Breathe out and relax. Let me in, Elisabeth.”

Doing as she was instructed, Eli breathed out and then relaxed. It helped her greatly that Lukkis was there and teasing her mouth, teasing her nipples, and making her whole body hum even more than it had been. “Mercy, yes.” She felt Kraven pushing through the tight ring of her anus, his cock pumping slowly through the muscles so as to allow her time to adjust to all of him. Finally, however, she felt his balls slapping against Lukkis’s cock against her pussy and sobbed. “Move, please.” No longer was she thinking, just feeling. Wanting. Needing.

They gave her just what she wanted, thrusting into her, pumping their cocks deep over and over. Kraven’s hands moved up her body to cup her breasts. His fingers caught her nipples and tugged with a small pinch.

All that Eli could do was hold on and enjoy the ride because that was what it was. They owned her body, pure and simple. They worked her to higher and higher planes of need and desire until she sobbed their names once again. Once more they knew she was about to have a cataclysmic orgasm.

They stilled, completely and fully. Her body was vibrating with need, and they weren’t moving. They weren’t letting her move either! Then Kraven did something with his cock, a little flex that had her eyes rolling back in her skull. Lukkis followed it up with a flex of his cock. Her toes curled. Back and forth they went, flexing their cocks, and both cocks were definitely getting larger, filling her more and more.

Her breath was coming in pants, in gasps. She couldn’t hold on for another moment. She couldn’t do much more than simply feel. She sobbed. And then, then Eli screamed, the feeling of Kraven’s and Lukkis’s seed filling her body. She screamed as she came, and the darkness that beckoned her welcomed her once again.

Chapter Twelve

Three sex-filled days later…

“Danykia was looking for you today,” Kraven told Eli. He passed her a dish of something they had explained was much like chicken, but so much more flavorful. “She is wondering when we plan to unchain you from our bed and allow you out with the females once more. Specifically she is looking to have you join her and some of the others for the midday meal soon, if you are interested. They apparently wish to gossip and find out much about your sexual experiences with us behind closed doors.”

“Floria,” which sounded like “flora” from Lukkis’s lips, “was pestering me as well to divulge all that we’ve been putting you through. I was resistant to her many bribes and threats, so I do believe she will be there too should you be brave enough to face them and their many questions.”

Eli laughed and shook her head. “Well, I hate to tell the ladies, but I’m so not having my world rocked and then telling everyone what we did.” She was sore in places she didn’t know she could be sore, but it was a good sore. Especially her ass, which now sat on a cushion after Kraven had spanked her while fucking her. Oh, she had loved every second of it too. “Besides, who says that I’m ready to let the two of you go from my clutches?” she teased.

“They have questions about that as well,” Lukkis said, a grin on his lips. “They wish to know how you managed to train us so well and quickly. They would like to get tips for when they meet their mates in the future.”

“I do not believe they will like the actual answer to that one,” Kraven said. And he had a point. Her mates weren’t “trained,” but they loved her and were being there for her during her transition into their lives. That, and they were apparently insatiable in bed.

Eli snorted. “You aren’t animals to train. You do things for me because you love me, both of you. Just as I do things for you both because I love you. It’s mutual love and respect that has us doing for each other. It’s just, right now you are both doing more for me because I can’t seem to get out of here without jumping one of you and demanding sex.” And they were always eager to fulfill her wishes.

“We were not complaining, not in the least,” Kraven said. Looking to her, he shrugged and smiled, a little anyway. “We happen to both like the fact that you are open about your needs and your sexuality. It is the way of our people, especially among those who are mated and living happily with one another.”

“Good. Then I will fit right in. Only issue is that I refuse to talk to others about what we do in the privacy of our rooms. That’s for us and us alone. No one else needs to know about just how the two of you can make me forget even my name while we make love.”

The men—males, damn it; she had to remember they had different terms for men and women—shared a look. Lukkis nodded and looked back at her. “That is your choice, and they will respect it. But expect them to at least attempt to get something from you. It is their way.” He smiled. Wiping his face, he got up from the table. “Now, if you will excuse me, my mate, I have a training exercise I must attend to. It will give you time to listen to Kraven,” he said. Leaning in, he kissed her and then moved to collect his jacket and a bag.

Listen to Kraven? She blanked out for a moment and then remembered. He’d had some things to tell her and was supposed to have told her the day after their initial mating. But they’d been distracted, a lot, and he’d never gotten around to telling her. Looking his way as he glared at the smiling Lukkis, she didn’t know if she wanted to know. But the worry in his eyes, even with the glare, told her she should at least listen. And he was her mate. She should be there to shoulder burdens with him—both of them.

Eli frowned and moved closer to Kraven. Placing her hand on his arm, she rubbed it gently. “Talk to me, babe. There is nothing that you can tell me that will make me upset. We are mated now. No secrets, right?”

“No, no secrets,” he said quietly. He pulled her up from the table and led her to the sofa. Once seated, he drew her onto his lap and wrapped his arms around her. He looked like he was thinking, so she gave him a few minutes to gather his thoughts in peace, and it paid off.

“Three cycles ago, my family decided that I’d waited long enough to find my true mate and that there would be a politically motivated match. They made the decision without me having a say and got the governing administrator to sign off on it between our families I came back from a mission to one of our border worlds to find out that I was, in your terms, engaged. I filed immediately to have this dissolved. I wasn’t matching with some female just for my family unit to gain prestige and power. I was going to wait for my mate as was right.”

She could hear him grinding his teeth. “My family, of course, protested, stating I didn’t know what was best and that my interests were counter to the families’. It became a legal battle of sorts waged behind closed doors. Because of my position I have many in our military who were willing to assist for no reason but to keep me where I was, so it became tied up. With our mating, the agreement made is dissolved, entirely. Unfortunately, my family unit will not be happy at the shame this will cast upon them. I am not a pawn to be used by them, and I had hoped I’d made that clear sooner, but this will ensure they finally understand. It is why I needed to get the message to the governing administrator and the various offices to have it on record. And why, when we return to Droushanian Prime, we will be going straight there to perform the ceremonial ritual again before them. Though your mating marks are clear enough to state it was fully performed, the ritual is mandatory.”

Eli felt ill at his words. She didn’t feel upset at him but worry for him. For their relationship. “Your family will never accept me, will they?” she asked quietly. “And the other family, will they be angry because you have found your true mate as well? Will they try to do all that they can to separate us? Will this cause you issue with your military career? What are the ramifications the three of us are facing?”

“It won’t cause any troubles for my career. My family unit, for the most part, will not accept it as valid, but there will be a few in my family who will be happy for us and what we found together. The other family will move on and find the female another match. They looked upon it as a business deal and won’t have emotions attached to it one way or another.”

“Well, at least there is that. You hadn’t formed any close ties with her. You tried to have the supposed match dissolved upon learning of the situation. Her loss is my gain. Because she is losing out. Not having you as a mate.” That had Eli smiling. “You are amazing, Kraven. I’m happy to have you as mine. I’m happy with you. Now, is that it?” she asked with a cock of her head.
