that’s really important, too, but that’s not what I wanted to talk about. Not yet, anyway.
You see, when I was thinking about everything last night, I couldn’t help but
wonder if we all weren’t just jumping into a yes or no too quickly, but
especially you two.”
    Locien frowned. “I do not quite understand.”
    “We just met a few days ago,” I struggled to explain. “I guess I don’t
really get how you can ask me to fill such an important role in your lives
without even knowing if you’re—if we’re compatible with each other. You
know—sexually.”
    Locien suddenly grinned. “Would you like to find out?”
    Once again, I was thrown off. I never once considered that either of
them would be so blunt about the sex part, but what did I really know about
them except what they had allowed me to see during our short interactions?
Hell, for all I knew, elves could be highly sexual beings and I had just opened
up a bigger can of worms than I had initially intended.
    I forced myself to look him straight in the eye as I answered just as
boldly, “That’s exactly what I’m asking.”
    The older elf laughed, sounding utterly delighted. “You are certainly
full of surprises today.” He turned to Seren. “Well brother, what say you?”
    Instead of answering, Seren turned to me, his expression both curious
and piercing. “This is what you truly want?”
    A nervous chuckle escaped my lips as I absently fiddled with the hem of
my skirt. I hadn’t meant anything by the gesture, but the movement drew his eyes
like an eagle honing in on its prey. A shiver of anticipation flowed through my
body, and I couldn’t help but think that I had never wanted anything more in my
life than to have these two gorgeous creatures take me into their arms, to
touch me, to kiss me, to feel the warmth of their bodies as I took my turn with
each of them.
    Yes, I had definitely gone off the deep end.
    “I couldn’t sleep last night because it was all I could think of,” I
confessed.
    Seren’s answering smile was every bit as eager as Locien’s. “Then come.
Let us all make love freely and without worry that you will conceive before you
have given us your final answer. You are not fertile today.”
    His words threw me for a loop. “You mean, like a threesome ?” I
asked tentatively. That was definitely not the impression I had meant to
give them, but…
    Seren nodded, looking far more serious than should have been possible
given the topic. “One of us must never have an advantage over the other.”
    “But you just said that I didn’t have to worry about getting pregnant
right now,” I accused.
    “You will not,” Locien said. “However, you did say that you wished to
see if we would be compatible, and given that this is the way we must make love
henceforth should you agree to become our mistress, what better time to become
accustomed to the act than now?”
    That was certainly news to me. I was suddenly feeling as though I had
jumped into a pool only to realize I hadn’t thought to check it for sharks
beforehand. Well, a lot of people did have a fantasy about sleeping with
twins, and even I had joked about its appeal with my friend Mel back when she
had dated an identical twin. This certainly was close enough, and I had already
decided before I came here that I would sleep with both of them today if they
agreed. Why not try it this way?
    I climbed onto my knees and then paused as a sudden problem occurred to
me. Although I had never seen anyone else other than the brothers and Emily
here, that didn’t necessarily mean that we were alone. Just because I was keen
on experimenting with a threesome didn’t mean I also wanted to jump headlong
into exhibitionism, too.
    “We’re the only ones here right now, right?” I asked anxiously. The
foggy atmosphere had thinned significantly during the little time we had spent
talking, so I couldn’t count on it concealing us anymore.
    “No one will disturb us,” Seren assured me.
