the same time.” She wasn’t sure how he meant to carry out his plans. The salons were just a precursor to the sex, which would take place on the night of the full moon.
“Do you know what my alter name is?” Baylor inquired.
Puzzled as to why he’d ask such an odd question, she frowned at him. “Ahh, no, of course not.” Only one’s most intimate companions were privy to that information.
“It is Janus.” With his lips twisted into a grimace, Baylor split into two men.
Naeme’s mouth dropped open. “By the Great Orb of the moon, a Gemini. You are not supposed to exist.”
“We are creatures of myth and magic, Naeme. With us all things are possible. The ability is my most useful weapon. I hope you will guard my secret well.” Both men spoke, the timbre of their voices identical. It was unsettling to say the least.
As if anybody would believe her.
“Well, what an enchanting surprise. Does Naeme get to play with both of you? Because if she won’t I would.” Always irrepressible, Valen chimed in, ogling both men with equal interest.
“Get me what I want, Valen—I may just let you.” One of the Baylors spoke.
And with an exaggerated shudder of anticipation Valen poofed out of the room, leaving her still gaping at dual Baylors.
With Valen’s departure Naeme found herself left with two familiar strangers. Feeling an unusual skittishness, she took a veiled glance from under her lashes at the two of them. Her eyes widened at what she read in their expressions.
The blatant hunger she saw in their eyes had her flustered. She took a step back and they moved with a predatory grace to flank her. She was cautious, but the imp in her filled her mind with the possibilities. Baylor times two, his virility and stamina doubled—it begged to be explored.
She licked her lips, not from nervousness, but from a sudden rush of desire. “Don’t you have duties to perform?”
“The Queen hasn’t returned to the ballroom. Oberon is with her, so unless she calls me to her side I don’t need to attend to her. I have planted instructions in my most trusted lieutenants’ minds to watch and listen for any significant activities that seem suspicious.” They gave her a teasing smile. “No reason why we can’t linger here for a short while.”
“That’s not like you to leave such an important undertaking in your subordinates’ hands.”
“My absence will be noted, true, but as I said I have my eyes and ears in place.” Both men inched closer. Her body reacted to the heat emanating from their bodies, softening, preparing itself for sex. Her breasts felt weighted down. The tissues in the cleft between her thighs pulsed and dampened with that sweet painful ache that accompanied arousal.
“You know there are still things I want to do that I haven’t done. For obvious reasons, I couldn’t reveal my ability to just all and sundry. So I’ll grasp the opportunity to indulge in two unfulfilled desires.” His fingers slid under her hair and caressed the sensitive skin on her nape. A hand cupped her tit and pinched her taut nipple. A bliss-filled shudder racked her body, and she braced her hands on the chests of the men on either side of her to steady herself.
“And what would that be?” she asked facetiously, her voice raspy.
Two very hard bulges pressed into her hips, hot fragrant breath eddied over her earlobes and Naeme’s body grew tense with carnal expectancy. “In this dual incarnation I want to fuck you while I suck your succulent clit. You can suckle on my shaft as you ride me at the same time. I will feel it all because after all I am one man. I should warn you, though, my needs are twofold what they usually are, and they take twice as long to sate.”
Naeme’s breath hitched in her throat. She couldn’t tell if it was from the lack of air or the images that Baylor’s words etched into her mind.
She’d taken more than one lover to her bed before, but it had never evoked such virulent passion in
