Page 4 of Wrapped in Their Arms

He ledNoelleright under the mistletoe andBurncame to stand on her other side.Thetwo of them were so tall, she felt like a child standing between two adults for a moment—but that analogy didn’t work, since she was older than both of them, she decided.

“All right,” she said, trying to sound unbothered by the strange situation.“I’mready—go ahead and kiss me.”

The two big warriors shared a look over her head and then, without speaking, both leaned down to kiss her on the cheek.

At first, it felt fine—both of their lips were soft and she could feel the slight prickle ofBurn’sbeard and mustache.Also, she had time to notice that their masculine scents—while very different from each other—seemed to mingle perfectly to make a fragrance that would put any high-end men’s cologne to shame.

But then, something strange started to happen.

A tingling sensation started where their lips were touching her cheeks.Atfirst,Noellethought she was imagining it.Butit got stronger and turned into something more—a kind of pleasurable warmth.

The warm wave of sensation rushed down from her cheeks and spread through her whole body.Barelya second later, she felt her nipples tingling and then her pussy started to get hot and wet.Thetingling reached her clit and it almost felt like a warm set of lips had molded around her aching button and was licking and sucking gently but firmly.

What is wrong with me?Noellethought frantically.OhmyGod, if this doesn’t stop,I’mgoing to come!

She’d never been so instantly turned on before—was it just becauseBurnandBrightwere kissing her?Butwhy would a kiss on the cheek make her so crazy?Herwhole body was lit up like aChristmastree with pleasure and desire!

I have to stop this—Ihave to pull away!she told herself urgently.

But before she could make a move to step away from the two big warriors, she felt her body betraying her.Shetried to hold still and stifle her exclamation but as an incredibly strong orgasm rolled through her, she felt her legs giving way and suddenly she was sinking to the ground.

“Madre deDios!”she gasped, and then the world went gray and everything around her seemed to fade.

BURN

“Fuck—now look what we did!Webroke her!”Burngrowled as the curvy littleElitesuddenly collapsed.Hereached for her and caught her before her head hit the floor—no easy task considering he was coming at the same time.

“Gods!Isshe all right?”Brightwas panting and his face was red.Itwas pretty clear he was in the same situationBurnwas.

“I think she just fainted—probably from the overload,”Burngrowled, cradling her to his chest.“She’llbe okay in a minute—just give her some time.”

He looked down atNoelleanxiously.Hercheeks were flushed and her chest was rising and falling rapidly.Hereyes were still closed.

She looked fucking gorgeous, he couldn’t help thinking—with her wide hips and big breasts and thick thighs, all draped in the beautiful red dress that wrapped around her body like the wrapping paper the humans used to conceal gifts.Theyhad learned about that a few days ago whenNoellehad taught them all how to wrap a present.

She’s not your fucking present—she’s a gorgeous matureElitewho would never be interested in you andBright,he told himself sternly.Neitherof you can ever hope toBonda female to you—not alone and especially not together, since you don’t have a realTwin-Bond.

But his best friend seemed to have other ideas.Nowthat he was sureNoellewas still breathing and didn’t appear to be in distress, he looked up atBurnexcitedly.

“Did you feel that?Didyoufeelit?”he exclaimed.“Imean, you came in your leathers, right?JustlikeIdid.AndI’mpretty sureNoellecame too!”

“Yeah, so?”Burndemanded.

“Don’t you see?”Brightwas practically vibrating with excitement.“It’sthe prophecy—the one the old blindSeergave us back onTherimFive!Don’tyou remember?”he demanded.“Shesaid we would find a third—a woman who could help us bond asTwinsinstead of just friends!Andthat pleasure would guide the way.Idon’t know about you,Burn, but that kiss…” he shook his head.“I’venever felt anything like it.Noellehasto be the one.”

“You’re fucked up in the head,”Burngrowled.“Idon’t care what that oldSeersaid—there’s nobody and nothing that can form aTwin-Bondbetween two males who aren’t even related.”

He knew how badlyBrightwanted a brother and aTwin-Bondand he wished he could be the male that fulfilled those wishes for his friend.Buthe didn’t believe it could really happen.Notthat he could get through to the other male.

“You have tobelieve,”Brighttold him earnestly.“Youhave to have faith,Burn.”

Burn only grunted.Hedidn’t have faith in much of anything—and hedidn’tshare his best friend’s bright and shiny worldview.Brighthad been raised by two loving parents that kept him safe as a child.Burnhadn’t had that safety and security—well, he he’d had it but only until he was twelve.Afterthat…

But he didn’t want to remember what had happened after that.

“Stop talking foolishness and come on,” he said toBright.“Weneed to takeNoelleto theMedCenter—she fucking fainted.”
