“Do that again,” the dark-haired Draekon orders, and I oblige, humming as I take him deeper. His scent is subtle and smoky, his pre-cum almost sweet. I run my tongue under his shaft, finding the spots that make him gasp. He strokes my hair as I devour him, cupping his taut bottom as I pull him into my mouth. His muscles tighten as he grows closer.
Zunix runs his fingers down my spine, content to watch as I suck the other man. My pussy spasms at the thought of his green-gold eyes on us, watching as I take more of Liorax’s cock in my mouth. God, I wouldn’t have thought I was an exhibitionist, but the idea sends a thrill of pleasure through me.
Liorax’s fingers tighten in my hair. “Olivia,” he gasps my name. I bob my head faster, keeping up the pace until his hips jerk. I fight to take him to the root as he spills in my mouth.
Draekon cum is sweet. Who’d have guessed?
Liorax staggers back, his expression dazed. “You’re going to be the death of me, little human.”
I grin at him and lick my lips in satisfaction. “My turn,” Zunix growls. He helps me lie back and positions himself between my legs. “I want to taste you.”
Liorax is lightning and passion, but Zunix is all about the slow burn. He nibbles my inner thighs, nuzzles and kisses my pussy. By the time he lays his mouth on my clit, I’m dripping and wild. My hands brush his short-cropped hair, and he grasps my wrists, pinning them on either side of my hips. The dominant move is too much. Digging my heels into the floor, I press up into his mouth, demanding all he has to give.
He chuckles. “Are all humans so impatient?” he teases me, his voice muffled against my pussy. His tongue darts out and circles my clit, and I whimper and grind into him.
“Please.” I’m not too proud to beg for my orgasm.
I don’t need to ask again. He gives me all I want and more. His hands grip my bottom, and he lifts me, positioning me so I straddle him. “Ride me,” he orders. “Take your pleasure.”
For a moment, I’m tempted to slide down his giant body and drive myself onto his cock. I’m supposed to choose between two pairs, but who am I kidding? Zunix and Liorax are the only two Draekons in the world for me.
But caution stays me. Dariux said I had to date my four suitors for six months before I could choose. I can’t risk the fragile peace in the camp. There’s too much at stake—my life as well as the other women’s.
Zunix tugs my hips over his mouth, and he swipes at my pussy. Fuck yes. Desire courses through my body, threatening to overtake my common sense.
No one said you had to wait six months before getting to third base, Liv.
With a sigh of pleasure, I lower myself onto Zunix’s face. My hips rock of their own volition, my breasts bouncing. Zunix’s tongue stabs into me, thick and hot. I glance behind me. His cock is pressing against his pants, and when I see his erection, I can’t help myself.
Before he can stop me, I switch positions, turning around so I’m straddling him facing the other way. As soon as I push down his pants, his giant erection springs free. I attack, swallowing as much of him as I can take, using my hands and eager tongue when my jaws can’t stretch wide enough.
Liorax is sitting on the couch opposite me, totally naked. “You are so beautiful, Olivia,” he breathes. He’s hard again, and he fists himself as I suck Zunix’s cock. I’m so turned on. This feels so carnal, so wicked.
Zunix eats me out with gusto, and I groan and part my legs wider, rocking my hips into his mouth. When he thrusts two fingers into my pussy, my eyes roll back, and I almost explode. Liorax is pumping faster, his blue eyes never leaving my face.
Then Zunix pushes a finger into my tightly puckered anus, and my already-fragile control unravels. I climax, shuddering through aftershocks while I work his thick, beautiful cock. As I bob up and down his hard shaft, he groans into my pussy, setting me off again. His cock jumps in my hands, and I just manage to put my lips over his broad head before he erupts, filling my mouth with sweet cum.
We’re lying on the bed afterward, lazy and sated. “Tell me something,” I ask, my voice sleepy. “If you could go back home, would you?”
“We can’t go back,” Liorax replies practically. “We are Draekon. To the citizens of the High Empire, we will always be something to be afraid of.”
“Okay, what if you could leave the prison planet?” I persist. “Would you go somewhere else?”
“I would,” Zunix replies instantly. “I miss civilization. People. There is food and water on this planet, but there isn’t much else.”
“Admit it,” I tease him, running my hand over his six-pack abs. “You miss women.”
His gaze rakes over me, heavy with lust. “Not anymore,” he murmurs.
My nipples pebble and my insides twist with desire. “Want to get to third base again?”
Both of them look puzzled. Laughing at their confused expressions, I explain the concept of baseball to them. Then we get to first, second, and third base all over again.

Olivia:
It’s almost dusk, and I get up to leave before the detsena show up. “Tell me again why you have to go.” Liorax sounds super grouchy, poor guy. Zunix doesn’t look much happier either.
“I have to,” I mutter reluctantly. “You heard Dariux earlier. He wouldn’t let Belfox and Herrix wager away their claim to me. How’s he going to react if I spend the night here?”
“I don’t care what Dariux thinks,” Liorax snaps.
“I don’t either, but...”
“But you have to consider the other women,” Zunix finishes. “If Dariux is in a snit, he might use his influence to delay or even cancel the plan to look for the missing human women.”
“Exactly.”
Liorax pulls me against his chest. “I want you, Olivia,” he says quietly. My heart starts to beat faster at his tone, which is serious and intent. “My dragon knew right from the start, but I was too damaged by my past to recognize the truth, even though it was in front of me all along. I fought against it, and I tried to resist, and I was stupid.”
His presses his lips on the curve of my shoulder. “I was afraid of repeating the past,” he says. “But I have nothing to be afraid of. Kat’vi was selfish and cared only about herself. You are nothing like her.”
I can hear his heart in his chest, steady and strong. “Claim us,” he says. “Allow us to claim you. We don’t need Dariux’s skimmer to look for the other women. When we complete the mating bond, we can fly to the Lowlands.”
I have to force out the words through the tightness in my throat. The three of us got off on the wrong foot, but not anymore. When I got to camp, I didn’t know who I could trust. Now, there’s no doubt in my mind. I trust Liorax and Zunix. And when the time is right, I want to do exactly what Liorax is asking me to do. I want to claim them as mine.
My mates. My Draekons. Mine.
But not yet. “I can’t. There’s only nine of us on this planet. If we complete the bond now, you know people are going to take sides.” I glance at them in appeal. “You said it yourselves. There were twenty-four Draekons on your ship, and now there’s only fourteen of you in camp. I don’t want that to happen to us.”
Zunix sighs. “I don’t like it, but you’re right.” His green-gold eyes rest on me. “We’ve kept secrets from each other from the day we met. You’re not who you pretend to be, and you know already that I’m more than my blood status would indicate.”
My lips twitch. “You’re finally going to tell me everything?”
There’s a familiar amused glint in his eyes, but also something else, something softer. “Olivia, I trust you. I’ll tell you whatever you want to know, whenever you ask.” He takes a deep breath. “I thought my dragon had chosen poorly, but I should have given the beast some credit. You’ve always been a worthy adversary to pit my wits against, sweet human, but you are so much more than that.”
The sun’s setting rays fill the room. Damn it. The detsena are going to be swarming over the ground soon, and I need to get back before that happens. “I’m going to hold you to that offer,” I warn Zunix, brushing a kiss over his lips. “But if I don’t want to be eaten alive by mutant crabs…”
“We’ll walk you back.” Zunix gets to his feet and pulls his pants on, tying them in place. “I want what you want,” he says to me. “Nothing would make me happier than making your wish come true. Seeing the humans reunited. But,” he fixes me with a warning look, “it might not be that simple. People’s loyalties are divided already.”
He’s right. Of course he is. I only have to examine my heart to know that he speaks the truth. If it came down to a choice, I’m going to choose Zunix and Liorax over the other women.
Three of the women in camp have mated with Draekons. May, Felicity, and Paige have conflicting loyalties now. And what about the others? If any of the missing four women have found their mates, then my hope of reuniting all of us might have to remain unfulfilled.
“Don’t get ahead of your problems,” Liorax says as we walk back to the mansion, which is what I’ve taken to calling the treehouse I share with Bryce. “You’re not alone. We’re with you.”
