The intimate knowledge that he wore no underwear had her face heating up with another blush.
 Rylan will definitely be waiting, Simeon said casually.  And he will be simply bursting with eagerness to
chat with you.
Clare walked over to the door, a comfortable smile on her face.
 I don t suppose I can cry off and insist Alderic will be wondering where I am.
 No, I really don t think that will wash, Clare, Simeon said softly, but with a smile. She knew he
understood she hadn t expected to get away with it, but although she knew she likely would get along
with Simeon s twin, she couldn t help but feel nervous meeting him after being discovered so immediately
post-coital.
Simeon stopped beside her as she reached the door and pressed her back gently against it. He dipped

his head and Clare felt the breath escape her lungs.
How the hell was she supposed to be nervous or think coherently when he was so damned sexy and
could melt her with something as simple as a kiss? When she wanted him so much it ached inside her
chest?
When you know you re pregnant with his twins, her mind echoed seductively.
Clare reached out to touch Simeon, needing the contact if only for just that moment. She let his lips press
gently over hers, exceedingly soft and gentle after the roughness of their mutual need before.
Arching up to his lips, needing to taste him, and she subconsciously felt her mind open to accept him.
She had no idea why they could share emotions and some thoughts when they touched now, but she had
to admit the bizarre mental bond they now shared with their souls merged would make life interesting in
the future.
As their lips roamed over each other, she could feel his need and satisfaction with her the heat and
urgency boiling inside him, though still simmering under the surface, was temporarily banked. He felt
sated, satisfied, even though he still wanted more from her, from them.
As Clare explored his lips, her mind pressed further into his, knowing this intimate contact between them
would only last as long as they kissed. With that guideline in place, she felt compelled to learn as much
about him as she could in their short timeframe.
Clare gently reached out, felt utterly surprised to find his growing love for her, even though they had
practically just met. She felt his desire for her and his need to help her, comfort her.
And then she felt a teasing laughter. She pulled back, not hurt exactly, but shocked, surprised. The
laughter had been genuine, not mocking, and& not his? It didn t fit in with the Simeon she was growing to
know.
 That will be Rylan, he whispered softly, groaning as she pulled her lips away from his.
 Rylan? she said quietly, digesting the knowledge. It almost felt as if the man were in the room with
them.
 Laughing, in my head, Simeon clarified and Clare felt a small measure of surprise, but only at the
understanding of it being someone else in Simeon s head. As soon as he had said it, she had recognized
the feel of Rylan, his twin.
 Then we d better go down and face the bear.
She turned and grabbed the door, realizing too late there was no doorknob to reach for. She sighed and
waited for Simeon to press his palm into the panel and open the door. When he grabbed her hand,
pressed a few keys in the wall, and then pressed her palm onto the clear plate, she looked over her
shoulder at him enquiringly.
 I m adding you to my private system. Even when I lock the boys out, you will always be welcome here,
and able to enter merely by placing your palm on the plate.
Clare smiled, felt the peace that had been slowly growing inside her as Gavreel, Alderic and now

Simeon made her feel more protected, more at home, swell even greater. She felt accepted.
Kissing him lightly on the lips, she whispered her thanks and set off back down the stairs. She paused at
the bottom, allowing Simeon to pass her and lead her to a large, sun-filled room.
Rylan lay sprawled out on the couch in a manner very similar to how she could imagine Simeon
sprawled. He had what looked like an open holographic magazine with the wordWench emblazoned in
red across its front cover. A woman with impossibly blue skin held enormous naked breasts and pouted
for the camera.
Travel time and galaxies and men are invariably the same, she thought, amused. Though she had to admit
not even the Playmates of the Year had breastsquite that big, neither was blue skin all the rage back
home.
 Rylan, this is Clare. Clare, this is my twin brother, the bane of my life, Rylan Montague.
The handsome man looked up from his holo-zine and cast it aside onto the side table.
 Clare, lovely to meet you. Clare smiled and held out her hand to shake. Instead, she was enveloped in
a huge hug.
 Terribly sorry for interrupting you, though it did seem as though you were pausing for breath. Bit of a
miscommunication. If I d known Si here had been entering heat I would never have come crashing
through the door like that.
 How did you hack through the door, Ry? I had it locked against you and Michael.
 That would have been me.
Clare turned as a deeper, more melodious voice came from the hallway. She stifled a sigh as she
watched yet another devastatingly handsome man walk into the sunny room.
Taller than the twins, with blond-streaked brown hair and gorgeous blue eyes, his face had a structural
resemblance to the twins, yet his coloring was vastly different.  I have an override master key, Simeon,
you know that, the man continued.  When Ry came thumping into my quarters, screaming about you
being attacked and too panicked to even think to get his own master key, I overrode your code pass. I
didn t know our youngest sibling had lost his marbles.
Clare felt her stomach flip-flop as the question burning in her mind became answered.
 You must be Michael, then, she said before she could censor her mouth. Gavreel had talked fondly
about his three sons a few times in the short time they had spent together.
Being confronted with three drop-dead sexy, make-a-woman-melt men was slightly different than
thinking on a hypothetical level of Gavreel having three sons, however, and for a moment Clare felt
slightly overwhelmed.
Thankfully, Michael merely smiled and came toward her. She hugged him back as he folded her in a
warm embrace.
 Gavreel, our father, found two women whom he could have settled with, Michael explained as he [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
