want more, she wanted everything. The smallest of movements any of them made filled her with unimaginable levels of pleasure. She couldn’t wait to fall into whatever blissful madness would come when they claimed her fully.

Ward moved first, his hand on her hip to steady her as he withdrew and Vic surged into her body. Back and forth, the two of them sharing her, making her the focus of all their desires. It was intoxicating, and there was nothing she could do but surrender to them both.

She was so far gone in her pleasure she forgot to restrain her gift. She became aware of their emotions, the needs and wants of the body as well as the love and light in their hearts. She took it all in until everything was a blur of joy and bliss that filled her completely.

She came hard, her cries captured by Victor’s mouth as she shuddered to climax between them. Her body tightened around both of them and they groaned. Their motions sped up, and before she had finished riding out the aftershocks of her release, her lovers were coming, too.

A subtle, spicy scent filled the air, and a sense of deep satisfaction rolled through her as she recognized what she’d done. They were marked with her scent now, and every Pheran on the station would know they were hers.

Ward nuzzled her ear, his breath still coming in hard pants. “You marked us.”

“I did.”

“And you….” Vic met her gaze, his cock still throbbing inside her. “I felt you. You linked to us somehow.”

“Wait, you could feel that?”

Both men grunted in the affirmative. That…shouldn’t have been possible. There were a few stories about powerfully gifted m’bari bonding to their mates, but that’s all they were, stories. Her vardo weren’t even the same species. But…they were her mates. Now and forever. She reached for them both, taking hold of their hands and sharing her joy with them, not sure how to do it, but wanting them to know how happy she was, and how much she loved them. Her family. Her mates. Her everything.

Their feelings flowing back to her, wrapping her in emotions so powerful there were no words to describe them. There were tears in her eyes as she held fast to them both, enjoying this moment and reveling in the knowledge that they had all made their choice, and they had chosen each other. “I love you both.”

“And we love you. Always,” Vic whispered.

“And forever,” Ward added.

Epilogue

Xori sat in the VIP section of the Nova Club, content to listen to the other females as they chatted. It was only mid-morning, but the place was already busy as a steady flow of customers came to eat, drink, gamble, and socialize in whatever free time they had before they shipped out again.

For now, she was happy to let the others talk. All her attention was on the chubby child she held in her lap. Dana Armas had her mother’s silver eyes and pale blue coloring, but there was something in the shape of her mouth and jaw that reminded Xori of the little girl’s fathers.

The baby was fascinated by everything around her, from the cutlery on the table to Xori’s hair. Currently, the child had a lock of it wrapped around her tiny fingers and was trying to pull it close enough she could put her hand and the hair into her mouth.

“Do you want me to take her?” Zura asked from across the table.

“What? Oh, no, she’s fine.” Xori freed her hair from the little female’s fingers, trading it for a small piece of fruit. Dana crowed happily and crammed the morsel into her mouth.

“I don’t know how you do it,” Cynder had Dana’s twin sister in her lap, bouncing the little one on her knee. “I have to admit, I was relieved when Alyson confirmed I wasn’t carrying twins.”

“Do you know if it’s a boy or a girl?” Xori asked.

Cyn grinned. “We do, but we’re not sharing just yet. You’re new to the weird and wonderful ways of this crew, so you don’t know about our tradition of betting on damned near anything interesting.”

Zura laughed. “Odds are currently three-to-one that you’re going to add another baby girl to the family. If you’d like to make a bet, I’m happy to take your money, Xori.”

“I probably shouldn’t.” Xori said with a laugh.

“Why not?” Cynder asked.

“For the same reason I’m not,” Chance said. “You’ve got a good idea already, don’t you?”

Everyone stared at Chance, then at
