are you looking at me like that?” he asked suspiciously.
She cocked her head. “Someone mentioned it also acts like an aphrodisiac.”
“What?” he blurted out, astonished. Surely she didn’t—
She waggled her eyebrows suggestively. “Does it?”
Arin didn’t know whether to laugh or not. “Is this the reason you gave it to me? As a payback for lust charms?”
“No.”
Oh. He wasn’t sure whether he was disappointed or not.
“But I am curious.” Green eyes gleamed at him. “Does it?”
He heard Lan’s sharp intake of breath, and the hands on his shoulders tightened. With a deliberate movement, Arin replaced the goblet on the small table between the chairs.
“Why don’t you go to bed, and then we will see?” he offered.
He stood and went over to the door to call a page. He didn’t want to be disturbed.
“Go to my sister, and tell her she is to handle anything that crops up until morning. I’m beat.” The page gulped. Moira scared them all. “Yes, my king.” He scurried away. Shaking his head, Arin closed the double doors, then after a short pause, let a tiny flicker of magic flow through them. The magic shields, always present around his private chambers, were boosted to another level.
He turned back toward the bed, and the sight that greeted him was enough to make his blood boil.
Damn, they were beautiful together. His cock stirred in approval.
Galena was already naked, her clothes piled in a heap on the floor. She was on her knees on the bed with Lan standing in front of her, blocking Aren’s view. Still, the bed was high enough that their heads were on same level, the two of them using the angle to kiss each other passionately. Lan’s tunic was also missing, his pale skin a stark contrast to the tanned arms that wrapped around his shoulders. Galena moaned, her fingers sliding into Lan’s short blond hair and tugging him closer to her. Arin swallowed.
He grabbed the back of Galena’s chair and angled it so, once he was seated, he had an unobstructed view of the bed. He watched his two lovers kiss and fondle each other. Galena gasped, breaking the kiss. Her eyes fluttered closed, and a faint flush covered her cheekbones. Following the line of Lan’s shoulders and arms, Arin smiled. Ah. Lan was massaging her breasts. That was always enough to make her look like that. He opened his own tunic, sliding one arm over his chest to pinch his nipple, no doubt mirroring what Lan was doing to Galena. He rubbed the peaked nub with his thumb, remembering how Galena’s nipples felt under his hands. Her breasts were soft and fit perfectly into his hands.
Over Lan’s shoulder, Galena’s gaze fastened on him. She licked her lips. “Not going to join us?”
He shook his head. “Not right now.” His grin grew. “Carry on.”
Her eyes widened as she understood his intention.
“Take his pants off,” Arin instructed. She did as she was told, no doubt doing something else, too, since Lan gasped, and his head bowed.
“Ahh…” Lan hissed, his pants falling down. Arin’s gaze slid over his rounded buttocks. He angled his head to see what Galena was doing. She had her hand on Lan’s balls, rolling them in her palm, and when Lan spread his legs, Arin could just see enough to have desire pooling in his groin.
Galena tugged on Lan, pulling them both down on the bed. Her legs wrapped around Lan’s waist, making his breath hitch as her belly rubbed against his engorged dick. Arin’s cock twitched in sympathy. He let his hand slide to his belt. He unbuckled it impatiently, hissing in pleasure as his fist closed around his cock. Yes, that was nice. He stared at his lovers. His dick was hard and wanting. Giving it one last stroke, he stood and went to sit on the bed. Raising his head, Lan gave him a heated stare, his mouth swollen and wet from the kisses. He bent his head again, Galena moaning under him as their mouths met again. One hand still on his dick, Arin used the free one to caress
