The king will like that.
My burgeoning lust died in an instant. I studiedBran’s long fingers, the lovely shade of green that was suddenly my favouritecolour. I’d almost forgotten my reasons for sleeping with Court and Bran.
Stupid girl.
Yes, I was a stupid girl. As enjoyable as sleepingwith Bran and Court was, as much as I was starting to care about them, I neededto remember that this was a temporary arrangement. As soon as the storm ended,I would never see them or –my chest squeezed tight – Bella again.
“What is wrong, Evie?” Bran asked.
He was sensitive, maybe not as sensitive asCourt, and the way both of them could pick up on my moods was a little eerie. Iwas used to being the one who could read people, not the other way around.
“I’m good.” I made my voice cheerful andlight. There was no point in being moody about what couldn’t be changed. I wouldenjoy my time with them, learn as much as I could, and then start the life I wasmeant to live – as the king’s mate.
Bella was skipping toward us, her smallbody a little wobbly and her tail carrying one of her picture books from thebookshelf. She climbed into my lap and leaned against me. “I dizzy, Eviegirl.”
Court sat down on the other side of me and strokedBella’s long hair. “I told you it would make you dizzy, meena.”
Bella dropped the book on my lap. “Evie girl,read?”
“I can’t, honey,” I said. “I can’t readDraax, remember?”
Bella used her tail to push the book ontoBran’s lap. “Papa read book to Bella.”
“All right, meena,” Bran picked up thebook, “but then it is nap time.”
Bella rested her head against my chest and wrappedher tail around my forearm before reaching out and grabbing Court’s tail withher right hand and Bran’s tail with her left. She held them loosely in her lapand smiled at her father. “Read, Papa.”

When I stepped out of my bedroom, both Courtand Bran were standing in the hallway. They gave me identical looks of desire,and my pulse skittered into hyperdrive.
“Hello, little human,” Bran said.
“H-hi.” My throat was suddenly dry, and I swallowedwith difficulty. “Is Bella down for her nap?”
“Yes,” Court said. “She fell asleep quickly.”
“Th-that’s good.” Why was I nervous? I shouldn’tbe nervous. Both Draax had seen me completely naked, I’d sucked both theircocks, fucked both of them… there was no need for nerves.
Still, I couldn’t help trembling when theyflanked me in the hallway. The heat of their big bodies made me want to pullthem even closer. Court dragged one finger across my collarbone, studying thegoosebumps that were on my skin.
“Are you cold, Evie?” he asked.
“A little,” I whispered.
“Would you like us to warm you?” Branpressed a kiss against my neck.
“Yes,” I replied, blushing at how eager I sounded.
Bran took my hand, tugging me along when Iautomatically stopped in front of Court’s bedroom door. He opened the door tohis bedroom, and I followed him inside.
I stared at the bed as Court shut the door,stepped in close behind me and cupped my breasts. He pressed his cock against myass, his fingers already plucking at my nipples through my t-shirt and bra, asBran walked to the bed.
“Holy smokes,” I said. “That’s a big bed.”
It wasn’t just a big bed - it was agiantbed. The widest bed I’d ever seen in my life. It could easily sleep threepeople with plenty of room for each of them. My stomach dropped a little as Irealized why he had such a big bed. The woman that lived here before me –Dana. They had started off sharing her, it made sense they’d want a bed big enoughfor the three of them.
Unexpected jealousy made my skin itch. Whathad she been like? Was she smarter than me? Prettier than me? Not such ascared little mouse?
