Page 57 of Legends and Longing

“I think you would like physical attention.” So did our very still mate judging by his reactions. “I would like to see my mates together, so you are going to kiss our boy.”

Making that declaration in a firm voice that said there would be no questions, I eased the sheet down and held Zorin firmly. He shivered but I could not decipher his mix of arousal and worry. “I…”

“Kiss.” Delivering the order sternly got physical reactions from both of them, but even Shiloh’s wide eyes only showed worry, not fear. “Now.”

Shiloh’s mouth softened but Zorin immediately followed the order. He leaned down, brushing his lips over our mate’s in a soft kiss. As he tried to straighten, I made a disapproving sound. “No. I want to see my mates together. Deeper. Show me how beautiful my mates are together.”

I needed to practice the right wording for this kind of situation, but I had done well enough based on their moans and the way Zorin brought his lips back to Shiloh’s. As he licked and nibbled, Shiloh whined and his body arched up to beg for attention.

Zorin’s hand moved without thought, stroking Shiloh’s chest before he realized what he was doing. When he jolted, I tried another way of communicating, whispering against Zorin’s ear and making sure he could feel my lips. “No, be my good mate. Touch our boy. I want to see you with him.”

Reminding both of them of that fact had needy sounds radiating from my mates and Zorin’s hand finally started to move confidently. Rewarding both of them with a pulse of need through our bonds, I did what the people of Earth called testing the waters and rocked my hips forward to rub my erection against Zorin’s ass.

There was a chance he would safeword or express some kind of displeasure since we had not talked about this behavior, but I made sure to give him warm feelings of arousal as I showed him my desire. “That’s my good mate.”

Zorin seemed to like praise even more than Shiloh based on the shocked pleasure that was rushing through him, but his feelings could have been about several things. No matter what he liked best, the way he moaned into Shiloh’s mouth had our boy repeating the sound.

It signaled agreement from both of them, so I continued to rock against Zorin and did my best not to join their overthinking chaos. My mates needed help being together, so that was what I needed to focus on. Zorin required a Dominant mate to help give him confidence and permission to enjoy our other needy mate. Shiloh’s worries seemed to come from how much he wanted us and whatever he thought might upset us.

Nothing would upset us, but he would see that over time. For the moment, he just needed someone else to take charge and start the intimate touch neither of them knew how to request.

Dominant mates were more important than I had ever understood.

While we might be equal, they would not be able to join together without me…and they would end up driving each other crazy, as the Earthlings said.

“His wiggles are his way of begging for more from his mate…touch his nipples…he keeps pushing up his chest.” Shiloh was very good at using his body to explain his needs, the only problem was with our ability to read those signals.

He kept forgetting this was a new language for us and the translation spell only gave basic connections between movements and explanations.

It seemed I’d guessed correctly based on his shocked gasp and the whine he let out as Zorin finally pinched one nipple through the thin shirt Zorin had picked out. “Did you hear that? He loved your touch.”

Reminding both of them that they were desired seemed like a good idea, so I kept my tight hold on Zorin’s chest but pushed higher levels of desire to Shiloh. “My little Earthling, you made Zorin so needy he woke up wanting you.”

The Earthlings seemed to perform heated mate talk more naturally, but neither of mine complained that I was doing it wrong. Shiloh was too aroused to think about complaints and Zorin was too excited to be getting the attention he had been craving.

Their lack of logical thoughts was probably for the best, so I continued to stimulate them through our bonds and Zorin by grinding against him.

When the need they were radiating continued to grow, I eased the sheet down more and pulsed pleasure through the bond. “Let me see you touch his skin…can you feel how much our boy desires your touch?”

Had Shiloh opened up their bond again?

Well, now he had.

Zorin’s entire body stiffened and he moaned before rocking between us. “Yes…he…”

Was finally showing his Daddy how much he wanted him.

Thank the fates.

I also thanked them for the boost to Zorin’s confidence because feeling Shiloh’s desire stopped his second-guessing…and possibly his brain. Zorin smoothly slid his hand under the bright red shirt Shiloh was wearing and they both radiated pleasure as their skin touched.

So did I, probably.

I had been serious about wanting to see them together, but it was possible I had downplayed that interest without realizing it. Wanting my mates to enjoy being together was reasonable, though. Logical, even.

Yes.

This was logical for mates.
