Her smile turned sly. “Kiss, Bran.”

When I hesitated, she squeezed my hand. “Kiss,Bran.”

I leaned over her and pressed my mouth againsthers. She pushed her tongue against my mouth and, unable to resist her, I partedmy lips so she could slip her tongue into my mouth. I brushed her tongue withmine and then pulled back before I did something I would regret.

She pouted before smiling at Court. “Kiss,Court.”

I stepped back and Court took my place, alittle too eagerly. I watched as he bent over the bed and kissed Evelyn. Mycock swelled, my pants turning uncomfortably tight, as I watched them kiss withopen mouths and questing tongues.

When Evelyn took Court’s hand and placed iton her breast, he cupped it and teased her nipple with his thumb. Her backarched and she moaned. The sound was almost my undoing. Before I could losecomplete control, I reached out and grabbed Court’s arm, pulling him away fromEvelyn.

He glared at me and I shook my head. “Youcannot.”

He ran a hand through his hair beforetaking a deep breath. “You are right. Evelyn, I am sorry. I should not have donethat. Please forgive me.”

We both looked at Evelyn. She was already asleep,or passed out, and I tugged the covers up to her shoulders, resisting the urgeto brush my lips across hers. I followed Court out of her room and shut thedoor, leaning against it and heaving a sigh of relief.

Court studied me. “She wants us to fuckher, Bran.”

“She was drunk,” I said.

“And when she is sober tomorrow?” Courtsaid.

“She will most likely not remember whathappened,” I said.

“But if she does?” Court persisted. “Ifshe asks us to fuck her when she is clear of mind?”

“She will not,” I said. “But if she does,we have to say no. She is our future queen. Besides, the only reason shewants to sleep with us is because she has never slept with a Draax before and isafraid she will be unable to please the king. She is worried that he will sendher back to Earth if she does not please him in bed, and she is worried he willask another to join them.”

“He probably will,” Court said.

“I know.” I rubbed at my temples. “She hasonly slept with one human male and he did not even make her cum.”

Court’s noise of disgust almost made megrin. “Human males are useless.”

“Yes, but we cannot fuck her, Court. Ifshe tells the king…” I glanced at Bella’s closed bedroom door.

“She will not,” Court said. “You knowthat, Bran. She does not want Bella to be an orphan like she was.”

I knew Court was right, but I said, “Still,we cannot sleep with her. She is our future queen and what if she became pregnant?She said she was highly compatible for breeding, remember?”

“We have plenty of the rubber tubes that humansuse to prevent breeding,” Court said.

He was right. Shortly after she moved inwith us, Dana had begun making Court wear them on the occasional time she wouldlet him fuck her pussy rather than her ass. We hadn’t known it at the time,but her plan to destroy our friendship was already in motion.

“We cannot,” I repeated.

Court folded his arms across his chest,that familiar stubborn look stamped all over his face. “If tomorrow when sheis sober, she asks me to fuck her, I will, Bran.”

“Court,” I said, “do not act like astubborn froden. The human is not for us.”

Court just shook his head before turningand walking toward his bedroom. “I will not deny her what she wants.”

Evelyn

I hovered outside of the kitchen. I could hear the higherpitch of Bella’s voice and the low murmurs of Bran and Court responding toher. I rubbed at my aching temples. I needed to just go in there, apologize,and hope like hell they weren’t furious with me.
