Soon both males were panting roughly. Straining as I rode them.Racer growled and surged inside me. Forcing my body tighter to Vanquish as he pinned me still while he came.Vanquish stopped all movement and held me to him.Sighing Racer showered my shoulder in short kisses and nibbles. Dropping his forehead to the back of my neck until he caught his breath."Are you okay, Vanna Rae?" Racer asked softly. Remorse in his voice."I'm okay." I murmured into Vanquish's shoulder.But my whole body was hurting already. I was unsure how I was going to survive this Mating Moon."I need her." Hunter's voice was ragged, and he was starting to approach."Not yet." Vanquish lifted his hand at my back to stop him."Let us finish here and she'll be all yours while Racer and I find her something to eat.""She needs sustenance." Racer agreed."Okay." Hunter sounded mournful. But I saw the promise of having me to himself brig

They're all in pain. I knew it. And was beginning to understand it better every moment.I feasted on the Rabbit while Vanquish built me a fire in the fireplace to keep me warm. Racer handing him logs absentmindedly.Hunter knelt behind me massaging my shoulders in a comforting way as I grabbed my tiny dagger of the small table near me.I gouged into the rabbit. Severing open the hide to bear the meat at the chest and ribs. Violently tearing away the fur in my hunger.His touch felt good. Lulling my aching body and offering comfort to my aching muscles.The other two cast him envious looks but it was clear they knew they'd not be able to touch me without having me immediately.Racer stared at me unashamedly.Vanquish looked over his shoulders frequently as though checking to make sure I'd not gone.Hunter dropped a long sensual kiss to the top of my shoulder."That's it! I'll fucking kill him." Racer leapt to his

I chewed my cheek feeling horribly uncomfortable."You've lost your virginity.""I was a virgin?" That did explain that first pain."You didn't know?" His brows shot up.I paused."Of course, you didn't. You can't remember." He did that strange, kind, gesture where he stroked my hair back from my face and tucked his palm against my cheek."We marked you, and the Mating Moon is done.""I can't survive that every night." I whimpered.***“Every night!” His voice rose.I shook my head.“Vanna Rae...” He chuckled chidingly. “Neither could we. We’d all die in a puddle.”“What do you mean?”“It’s the only night of the year we’re like that.”"Then what would tonight be like?""Tonight, you recover. And however, many nights it takes. We've traumatized your body. You need to heal. We hunt for you, we tend you. U

Soon after declarations Vanquish, Hunter and Racer took me to their two-level hut.“This isn’t mine.” I objected.“Is now.” Racer declared tossing open the door.Every corner was filled with dust except for around one corner on the far side of the base level.“Which of you knows how to clean?”It was better-kept then my hut had been. I wasn’t fair at tidying either.“Mine.” Vanquish said tight lipped.“Of course, it is.” I groaned.“Yes, of course it is.” Hunter mimicked my annoyed tone.Racer as well.“Am I just supposed to bounce from bed to bed?” I glared from one to the next to the next.“Well, you could.” Hunter grinned broadly. “Or you could lay in yours upstairs and call up whoever you’ll have for the night.” He pointed to a ladder nearby, that went up to a platform o

Much had changed since the night of the Mating Moon.Vanquish was right.They weren’t the same men before the Moon, nor were they the same ones now as they had been that night.It brought out their aggression, their primal need to mate and breed.But on days like this where they’d worked at the Border much of the night and came in as the sun was cresting the horizon. Piling into their beds exhausted, then filtering into mine to hold me as the nightmares came, were my favorite.“I want to make love to you.” Vanquish sat up.I gave him a look and saw the question on his face. He’s not commanding he’s asking.“I’d like that.”“Me too?” Racer asked from behind me.I gave him a soft smile over my shoulder.He buried his nose further in my straight blonde hair. Taking in my scent.“Ohh, guess I’m breakfast man
