Brennan stands from the controls. He looks at me, with a strange expression on his face.

“You’ll forgive me, Natali. I’d thought you had betrayed us.”

I look down, ashamed at how close I’d come.

“I didn’t know what to feel,” I admit. “Everything happened so fast. It felt like too much, too quickly – like my whole future was being decided for me, and I didn’t have any say in it.”

A small smile comes to Brennan’s face.

“It’s not decided, Natali – and from this moment on, we decide these things together. You chose us, and now you can choose our destiny.”

I pull myself up. Otho and Lazar leave their gunning stations, trusting the AI to watch our backs.

As they approach, I don’t need the Bond to know what the expressions of need and adoration on their faces mean. Brennan steps forward first, the huge alien looming over me, and I feel so deliciously small and safe within his shadow.

A wave of nervousness floods over me. Butterflies dance in my stomach.

“I want to be with you three,” I murmur. “I just don’t know what it means. I…”

My voice trails off as Brennan places his thick finger against my lips, gently silencing my anxious words.

Then, he wraps his hand around the nape of my neck, pulling me in for a hard, hungry kiss.

I melt beneath his touch. He’s so big – so powerful – and he makes me feel tiny and helpless in his arms. I’ve never felt so protected. The dominant alien ignites an impossibly deep lust inside of me.

I’m scared that without the Bond, I’m not going to be able to handle Brennan’s rough mastery of my body. I pull back, gasping – panting in lust.

“Please, be gentle,” I beg, looking into those fathomless blacks orbs – eyes that are so achingly inhuman, yet impossibly reassuring.

Brennan stares back into me.

Otho and Lazar close in on me from either side. Three hungry aliens, surrounding me like delicious predators. They came and ripped my life to shreds – pulled me from the safety of my walls – and then they showed me my true self.

Beneath all my anxiety and all my stress, I’m stronger and more capable than I’d ever thought I could be – more than I’d ever have believed.

I went back to these three willingly – even without the Bond influencing me.

I don’t know what the future will hold – but, right now, all I want is this moment.

I pull at the Orb-Ring, wishing the Bond Disrupter would fail.

“Soon,” murmurs Lazar, kissing down from my earlobe to my neck. Hands pull at my modest, grey dress – stripping it from my body. They make similarly short work of my undergarments; until I stand naked in front of these three, huge, alien warriors.

I’m so nervous – but the way they look at me turns me on more than I could possibly believe.

I feel like I’m the most beautiful woman in the world – and, to them, I am.

I thought I’d lost them forever – but now, my three men surround me as certainly as the walls of my father’s estate ever did.

Their huge hands areowningmy body as they explore me. The three of them touch me. They caress me. They build up the heat in my body until I’m squirming with need.

Lazar breathes in deeply, tasting my scent – tasting the flavor of his Fated Mate. His eyes roll back into his head. Even without the Bond, the mating rage is building within him.

I tug at Brennan’s shirt, and he pulls it off, revealing his perfect body. I’ll never get tired of rediscovering the perfection of his incredible physique. I run my hands against his chiseled abs, and suddenly I’m not certain Idowant him to go easy on me. I feel so subservient to this massive, alien leader – and I want him to satiate every dark desire he has for me.

I fall to my knees by instinct. It just feels natural to look up at the towering Aurelian – the leader of my Bonded triad.

He pulls out his massive cock, and I’m eye-level with his huge, heavy balls – hanging full and ready to pump me full of his powerful, alien seed.
