Ellis gathered me close, and Shane’s arm cradled both of us. I put my hand over theirs on my chest and closed my eyes, smiling.

This is so much better than last time.

“Fuck!” I scrambled to sit up, wincing as Ellis’ dick was unpleasantly yanked from my hole.

Shane and Ellis wore identical chagrined expressions. Ellis chuckled. “I guess we forgot to ease you into being able to speak mind-to-mind after bonding.”

CAL’S CAMPAIGN COMPENDIUM

BONDING, PART FOUR: AFTEREFFECTS

After the bond is created, you and/or your partner(s) may experience some new sensations and abilities. This section is intended to make you aware of these potential aftereffects so you are not surprised if you experience them.

Bonding aftereffects may include:

Limited distance apart (temporary): Most newly bonded partners are unable to be at a significant distance from each other for a period of time. This distance could start out as little as a few feet, so make plans to stay together for up to a couple of weeks after bonding. As the bond settles and gets stronger, you and your partner(s) will be able to get further away from each other without discomfort, though it may take months or more before you can spend an entire 24-hour period apart from each other.

Constant mind-to-mind communication: You and your partner(s) may have experienced this ability as your connection became stronger and you were physically touching. Once you are bonded, you will be able to enter each others’ minds at will. Most people learn to filterand/or block their partner(s) so as to not get overwhelmed with each other’s thoughts and emotions.

Physical intimacy feedback loop: Bonded partners who are sexually active have reported being able to sense erotic pleasure from both their own perspective and from their partner(s)’s.

Self-healing: Bonded partners may enjoy faster healing from injuries and slower aging. Individual experiences will vary.

CHAPTER 21

SHANE

Rory glared at me.“I guess! Fuck.”

I couldn’t help the goofy smile that took over my face. We were bonded. Me, Ellis, and Rory.

Forever.

Rory had definitely been the piece missing when Ellis and I had tried before. This time the magic wheel was smooth, robustly spinning without a hitch.

I held my hand out to Rory. “I need a hug.”

He huffed. “Fine.” He crawled over to us. Ellis sat up, and we circled our arms around each other. One of them—Ellis—was thinking about our lovemaking.

I smiled.Is it okay if I talk like this now? Rory, you should try.

He scrunched up his face. Ellis chuckled and kissed his cheek. “Just relax. It’ll happen.”
