Caught Between Two Blue Aliens - Celia Kyle Page 0,40

boyfriend before the invasion. But that was nothing like this. This was kissing in high definition.

Two sets of strong, large hands explored her body, roving across her form as though they wanted to memorize every dip and curve. Jenna kept her eyes closed, almost a buffer between fantasy and reality.

One set of hands tugged at her shirt as though to pull it away and strip her bare. And right then logic and reason returned.

“No. Stop,” she said.

Both men froze.

There was no denying that she was attracted to them both. Her body craved their touch unlike anything she had ever experienced. It was more than thirst. More than hunger. She wanted nothing more than to give in to the waves of pleasure, but she’d just met these men yesterday. No way would she fall into bed with two guys that fast. Never in her life had she ever had sex with someone she’d just met.

Sure, she’d accidentally signed her life away in that damn contract from the event at Drokten Main. Perhaps there was, like Bea claimed, a clause informing her she was to be on offer for the Drokten warriors to take as a mate. But either way, Jenna was not the kind of girl to make such rash decisions. Especially when it came to her family. The kids were the most important things in her life. She had to remind herself of that fact.

Regardless of what might happen in the future, right now was not the ideal time to make out with a pair of aroused Drokten males, which could easily lead to... nope.

She ducked out from under their arms and backed away a few steps. They both grunted in disappointment.

But Jenna held up both hands in front of herself, ignoring her kiss-swollen lips and the insistent throb between her thighs. “I can’t…we can’t.”

“Jenna…” Hiren said.

“I’m not ready,” she admitted. “Not ready at all. I just need to know more. To really know this is for real.”

In her whole life she’d only let in her parents, her siblings, and Jade, into her tight circle of trust. Not even ex-boyfriends had been let all the way in. “I don’t have a lot of friends,” she admitted. “I never have. I only let a few people in because I’m cautious that way. So, I can’t… I can’t just make a snap decision, letting you in like this.”

“Jenna,” Sevith tried, “this is different…”

She’d let these two into her mind and her private thoughts today, let them kiss her and touch her and… she just needed to slow down, that was all.

“I know it is to you, but to me it isn’t yet. I just need to slow down and take a breather.” She glanced at the clock. “In fact, I-I think it’s probably a good time for you two to leave. Please. I need to go to work this evening and I have errands to run today. The last thing I need is for you two to cause me to lose this job too.”

Sevith’s eyes flashed a warning and he frowned. “No, that is incorrect. Our place is with you. We will remain by your side.”

“Wherever you are, we should be,” agreed Hiren. “You are our mate.”

“Your place cannot be with me because my place is at work. At the restaurant. I have to go there in a couple of hours and you absolutely cannot come with me.”

Sevith appeared angry, frustrated, and lost all at the same time, but Hiren stepped forward to gently lay a reassuring hand on Jenna’s shoulder. He peered down at her with pure adoration in his eyes as he pleaded with her sweetly. “Just give us today. Spend more time with us and allow us to show you how this can work.”

“But…I can’t lose another job because of you.”

Sevith let out a sigh of exasperation. “You do not need that job.”

“But—" Oh hell, maybe he was right. Did she really still need that job if she was going to become their Oso?

“Come. We will give you a much better tour of Drokten Main and the Avash while your brother and sister are at school. We will return you in time to make it to your place of employment,” Hiren pressed her. “Just give us an opportunity to prove ourselves to you, Jenna Perry. Let us show you our home, where we would live, before you decide.”

Jenna stared at them both, her gaze bouncing between them, and her shoulders slumped. She knew there was no point in arguing.
