I looked at the cave Nitochi entered with a smile. Both of us were born here. Living in a tree was not even an option for us, especially with a female that could not fly…
“I promise we will take you on a tour sometime soon,” I said, taking her hand in mine. “Give us…let’s be reasonable and say a few days.”
She arched a brow as she looked at me. “A few days?”
I pulled her closer, sliding an arm around her waist to keep her close. “We might be a bit selfish when it comes to our females. We are not ready to share you with the rest of our people just yet.” Her eyes widened and I hurried to explain. “By share, I meanintroduce.” My hand left hers to cup her face, tilting it up toward mine. Her breath stuttered, lips parted. “There will not be anysharing. You are ours, and we are yours. I hope you are ready…”
“Ready?” she breathed out, her breath warming my lips.
“Gemins crave…” I paused, thinking of the appropriate word. “Intimacy. A lot.” Her blush deepened. “You are the female we have chosen to spend our life with, not just a casual fling.”
She looked both embarrassed and flustered. “You haven’tchosenme, exactly…”
“We did.” I slid my nose along her temple, breathing her in. “You might have been chosenforus, but I—wewere eager to meet you. And when Nitochi came inside you” —I nibbled on her ear— “he claimed you as his. Asours.”
“You mean—”
“Imean, that even though both Nitochi and I had a lot of partners in the past,” I explained, “as I am guessing you had too, weneverfilled another with our seed. This act is only reserved for you.Ourfemale.Habanshi.”
Little bumps erupted on her skin as she sighed. When I looked back into her eyes, they were hazy. “What does it mean?”
“Habanshi?” She nodded. “It meanssoul of mine. Nitochi and I share a soul. We are two pieces of the same being. And you,Wendy, are the piece that makes us whole.”
She cursed, shuddering in my arms. “I hope I’m not being disrespectful but this dinner better not last too long,” she said. “Because I’m ready. You thinkyoucrave intimacy? You better be ready too for the amount of intimacyIneed.”
When we landed in our parents’ cave after Nitochi gave me the go ahead, I was still fucking hard and using Wendy’s body to hide my front.
My eyes met my mother’s smiling ones just a second before she rushed forward, grabbing one of Wendy’s hands in hers.
“It is such a pleasure to finally meet you, Wendy. I trust my boys have been good? If they behave poorly, you tellme. We raised them well, but…you know,boys. They kept making me question my own sanity growing up. I am Nodala, butplease, call meAnyi.”
My stomach made a strange flip as I listened to my mother asking Wendy to call her mom. It must have done something to Nitochi too as his hand shook when he went to grab our little human’s.
Wendy smiled. “Thank you for your kindness,” she said, before she hesitated briefly. “Anyi. You raised Baelor and Nitochi perfectly well. I couldn’t have hoped for better men.”
My mother’s eyes gleamed as she brought Wendy’s hand to the side of her face and touched hers, a familiar greeting our species only reserved for relatives.
“Welcome to our home,” our father—Dasume—the one who looked like me, said with a smile. He took a single step closer and gave her a small bow. “It is an honor to meet our sons’habansear.”
My throat bobbed.Okay, so either Nitochi told them, or his smell on her was enough.
“I am Kosae, but you can call meDasume,” he continued before pointing to our other father, a mirrorimage of Nitochi, just a step behind. “And this is Xantu.”
“Call meDasu.” He nodded respectfully, staying silent. He was not a man of many words.
Dasu—the father, and Dasume—theleadingfather. I wondered if it was confusing for humans…Our mother took a closer look at Wendy’s clothes, checking her frame from head to toes. “This will not do. I will not have my daughter walk around in these…things.” She turned to me. “Is this what John provided?” I nodded, remembering the poor, sleep deprived human doctor hurrying to grab the first thing he saw before we left their base. “He could have stopped by to—”
“We were in a hurry,” I interrupted her. “Wendy’s translator needed to be updated.”
Little did I know, she had not needed to understand Nitochi’s words for what they were doing when I got back there…
“Well, let us get her into something more comfortable,” she said, pulling Wendy with her. “Start setting up the table! We will be back shortly.”

You got this, son.
