Burn wished he still had that.Hewished the universe hadn’t beaten it out of him.

You prayed for a miracle once,he reminded himself.Whenyour parents and your twin were abducted.Whenthey were?—

No.

No point going there.Nopoint digging up bad memories.

He tore his gaze away fromBright’searnest expression and focused on the controls again.Brightbelieved this mission would work — believed thatNoellewas the “third” theSeerhad spoken of—the one who could bind the two of them together.

Burn doubted it.Hedidn’t believe in miracles.Notanymore.

Well, the worst thing that could happen was failure, he told himself.TheoldSeerwas probably a fraud.Therewas no way she could forge a bond between two males who weren’t related.Youwere either born with aTwin-Bondor you weren’t—simple as that.Therewas no other way.

But at least they’d get a trip withNoelleout of it.Atleast they’d get to be close to her.Maybethey’d even get to sleep with her between them, just for one night.Justonce, before she had to go back toEarth.Maybeshe’d even let them share her a little.Sincethey were able to touch her without the low-level shocking pain allTwinKindredexperienced when they touched a woman without their twin, it should be possible.

The thought of sharing curled low in his belly, hot and hungry.

He let himself imagine it — just for a moment.

Noelle in that big bed at the back of the shuttle, lying on her back, her dark hair spread over the pillows like spilled ink…Herlegs spread open for them, wide and welcoming…

Bright would take one side, kissing her throat, whispering sweet, dirty things in her ear.Burnwould take the other side — or maybe he’d kneel between her thighs, gripping them tightly as he lowered his mouth to her pussy.

He imagined her taste—sweet, hot, and intoxicating…imagined her fingers gripping his hair, pulling him closer as he sucked her clit and slid his tongue inside her, devouring her like she was his last meal.

Bright would be kissing her breasts at the same time, taking one nipple in his mouth and rolling the other between his fingers until she was gasping and arching, calling their names and begging for more.

Burn’s cock throbbed at the thought.

ThenBrightwould pull back, lick his lips, and grin at him — and they’d switch.Burnwould take her nipple between his teeth, sucking gently, groaning at the feel of her body trembling under him, whileBrightslid down and tasted her next — burying his tongue in her, making her moan for both of them.

He imagined the two of them taking turns…tasting her…teasing her, dragging out her pleasure until she was begging them to take her.Beggingto feel both of them inside her at once.

Fuck, yes,he thought.Gods,Iwant that.Iwant her—want to share her withBright!

She would come hard — he could tell by the way she’d come for them when they were just kissing her cheeks under the mistletoe.Shecame like lightning— fast and blinding.AndBurnbet he andBrightcould coax multiple orgasms from her sweet, curvy body.Imaginehow hard she’d come for them when they really put their mouths and hands on her…how she would feel gripping their shafts with her soft little pussy and ass…

He was so deep in the fantasy he barely noticed the subtle shift in the shuttle’s vibration—barely noticed the hum of the engines change pitch.

But he noticed when the red light outside the cockpit window flickered… then flickered again… then abruptly snapped back into normal black space and starlight.

Burn jerked upright as time slammed back into place.

“What the fuck?”he muttered.

They had exited theFoldbut the space in front of them wasn’t the peaceful starfield ofTherimFive’ssector.

Warning lights flashed…alarms began to blare.

Bright stiffened in his seat andNoellegasped, her eyes going wide.

Burn’s heart dropped into his gut as the shuttle lurched violently to the left.

Something was wrong.Very,veryfucking wrong.

He tightened his grip on the steering yoke just as a massive shadow loomed ahead of them…and the shuttle was caught in a crackling net of bright blue energy.

“What the fuck?”he growled again.
