Ander carefully slipped from me before Nial lifted me up and off his lap. On shaky legs, I stood beside Ander as the crowd cheered. Nial raised his hand and silence fell at once, all eyes on him.
“I am Nial Deston, your Prime. This is my second, Ander, and our mate, Lady Jessica.”
The crowd rose to their feet and spoke in unison. “May the gods witness and protect you.”
The spoken blessing sent a shiver down my spine as every pair of eyes I met in the crowd was dark and so very serious. I lifted my hand to my throat, eager to see for myself that our collars were now all a matching shade of red. My mates’ seed slipped down my thighs but I stood tall. A queen. I knew I wouldn’t have felt so powerful, so invincible without my mates at my side. I felt them. Their happiness, their satisfaction, their love.
My eyes flared at the last and I glanced from one to the other. “You love me?”
“Yes, mate. I love you,” Ander said.
“Love is a pitiful word for what I feel.” Nial bowed to the crowd, acknowledging their blessing as I struggled with what to say.
“But—”
“The collar does not lie, mate, and neither do we,” Nial said.
I felt the truth of his words, saw it in his eyes, felt it in his hand that held mine, in the bond between us, newly formed.
Ander picked me up as if I weighed nothing and carried me out of the arena as Nial fell into step beside us. The old me, the Earth me, knew I should be embarrassed that everyone on the planet had just watched me have sex with my mates, but the new me, the strong woman surrounded my two warriors who loved her? She didn’t give a damn.
Let them watch. Let them all see how hot and sexy and big my mates were. Let them hear my screams and envy my pleasure.
I laid my head on Ander’s chest and let my love flow to them through my collar. Tomorrow I would worry about what it meant to be a queen. I would explore my new world and learn how I could serve and honor this proud warrior people. Right now, I was just going to drown in happiness. I had never been this content, this joyful, in my entire life. “Thank you.”
Nial looked at me from where he walked beside us, but it was Ander who spoke. “For what? If it’s for fucking you, believe me, it was our pleasure.”
I smiled as tears gathered in my eyes. I’d almost missed this. My life would have been something entirely different without them. “For coming to Earth. For saving me. For taking me with you and for being mine.”
“We are yours, Jessica. And we’re going to prove it to you for the rest of the day.” Nial reached over to wipe the tear from my cheek.
“Again… and again… and again.” Ander would have kept going, but I pressed my fingers to his lips to silence him. I could just imagine what my men had in mind, but I could only feel the delicious need to surrender, to be whatever they needed me to be. There was only one thing for me to say.
“Yes.”
The cheers and applause of the Prillon people faded as I was carried off by my two mates, eager to begin our new life together.
The End
