robust and paired perfectly with the Gyr. It had surprised her because Taarig and Jamis didn't seem to be the type of males who enjoyed a good glass of wine.
It made her wonder what else she didn't know about them.
She couldn't wait to find out.
With only a few bites of Gyr left, she looked up to find Taarig and Jamis had both finished their meals and were now intently watching her. Feeling mischievous, she picked up a piece of Gyr with her fingers, ran it through the juices on her plate, then leaned toward Jamis and held it in front of his mouth.
Jamis watched her intently as she offered him the meat. Did she know what it meant to a male Apre to be served this way? In ancient times, an Apre's Lalla would feed her mate in such a way to show him, and everyone else, how much she cared for him, that she was his and only his. That Cali was doing it had every one of his possessive instincts rising, along with his cock. Closing his mouth around her fingers, he sucked her offering from them.
Cali slowly withdrew her fingers from his mouth, letting them linger on his firm lips for a moment. Taking a deep breath, she broke eye contact with Jamis and looked down at her plate. Picking up the remaining piece of meat, she made sure it too was coated in the remaining juices, then turned to find Taarig already leaning toward her, his mouth open.
Taarig accepted the bite then watched Cali's eyes widen when he closed his mouth and wrapped his tongue around her fingers, erotically sucking on them before slowly releasing them. She was serving him as a Lalla would, and he was going to reward her for it. Her low moan, along with the darkening of her eyes, told him she liked her reward.
Cali didn't understand Jamis’s and Taarig's reaction to her feeding them. While it wasn't something she'd ever done with her other lovers, with them, it seemed right, natural even. Before she could dwell on it, though, Jamis stood and swept her up into his arms. Usually, Cali would have gone supernova on anyone who grabbed her without her permission, but this was Jamis, and the move only filled her with more desire and need.
Jamis carried Cali through to his resting chamber and set her on her feet next to his bed. Cali feeding T had Jamis fighting two conflicting emotions. Anger that she dared touch another male and pleasure because the male was T. Hearing the sexy little moan she'd given T had him wanting her to do it again because of him. His first instinct to make that happen was to ravish her, to take what he wanted. He'd already done that, and as satisfying as it had been, he hadn't taken the time to explore every curve of her compact body. He hadn't learned those secret places that drove her crazy with need and made her moan. This time, he would discover those places, but he needed to get her out of her clothing to do so. Dropping to his knees, he gripped the heel on one of her boots.
"Up."
When she immediately obeyed, he set her foot on his thigh then slid his hands up along the muscled curves of her calf and thigh until he reached bare skin. After caressing the silky flesh for a moment, he slipped his fingers under the edge of her boot and started to pull it down. As he did, he realized they were armadil, a material that, when stretched, conformed to whatever it surrounded but then retracted back to its original size when removed. It was a rare and costly material from the outer reaches of the universe and not something he would have thought an Earthan could afford.
"Lift your arms, little one," Taarig ordered.
Cali had been so stunned by Jamis kneeling before her that she hadn't noticed Taarig coming up behind her. Still, she readily obeyed, allowing him to pull her shirt up and off. When her arms were free, she reached back and wrapped her arms around his neck, tipping her face up to his.
Taarig had immediately started stripping off his uniform as he entered Jamis’s resting chamber. He wanted to feel Cali's sleek, naked, little body pressed against his again, needed to sample the sweetness of her luscious lips also. So when she reached up, wrapped her arms around him, and offered him those lips, he
