they’re attacking our babies! You call that
normal!” She tried to move, but both men held her down, laughing at
her.
    “Are you two crazy? Why aren’t you…?” She stopped
struggling and glared at her mates. “What the hell are they? Is
this normal for your race?” She collapsed onto the pillows and
crossed her arms over her breasts.
    Jaxxon placed the scanner on the table next to her
and grinned. “Remember, we changed your body, and we are the
children's sires. Those worm things, as you called them, are Toras . They form as soon as a child is conceived. The
organism’s life span is as long as our children are in you. Toras
feed off any waste and toxins in the mother’s womb.” He put his
hand on her stomach and caressed it.
    “If it wasn’t for those little worms, our children
would die. The toxin we used to change you would kill them before
they built up the immunity to handle it.”
    Venus let out the breath she held and twined her hand
in Jaxxon’s. “Okay, I can handle that. Is there anything else I
need to know? Like what is the gestational period for Azutuan
children?”
    “I need to go hunting.” Volund leaned over to kiss
her forehead. “Jaxxon will explain everything to you. However…” He
waited until her attention was on him before he continued. “I’m
happy for you if this woman is your grandmother, but until Jaxxon
is one hundred percent sure she is safe and cannot harm you or the
babies, you must keep your distance from her.”
    She licked her lips and watched as Volund bent and
grabbed his weapons. He gave her a perfect shot of his bare,
muscular buttocks under his kilt.
    “Damn, you have a fine ass.” She reached over and
pinched him quickly before he could move. Rolling to the other side
of the bed, she squealed and laughed when Volund turned faster than
she anticipated and caught her legs.
    With a strong, gentle grip, he pulled her to him.
“You’re lucky I need to hunt, but I promise to see to your needs
soon, little warrior.” He swatted her butt twice before he released
her and whistled some sort of tune. He walked to the door, but
Venus jumped off the bed and captured his arm. He stopped and
smiled down at her.
    “Volund, please be careful. I don’t like you going
out alone. Those things are getting smarter. Take your pets with
you, please.”
    He rested his big hands on her hips and slowly picked
her up until her eyes were even with his. “Nothing will happen, but
if it will ease the stress on you then I will take our pets. They
need to run anyway.” He kissed her lips softly, and she snapped her
legs around him, her mound brushing against his cock.
    He moaned. “I’m not going to get any hunting done if
you keep doing this to me.” He backed her up against the wall and
cupped her breasts, pulling and pinching her nipple with his thumb
and index finger.
    “Jaxxon, take care of our mate’s needs, please. I
really need to go before it gets dark.” He bit her shoulder and
unhooked her legs from his waist. He stepped away, but not before
he kissed her nose. “Be good.”
    Jaxxon took his place, a cocky grin stretching his
mouth, kilt gone, and his black hair loose just as she liked it.
She drew in her breath as she watched him slide two fingers into
her pussy. “You are damp with eagerness to have my sapin inside
you .”
    She dug her nails into his shoulder and licked up the
side of his neck to his pointed ear where she sucked the tip into
her mouth. Two could play this game. She only hoped he would cave
before she would, but his fingers were delicious magic.
    “I think we are both going to go up in flames if we
don’t stop the teasing.” Venus scraped her teeth gently over the
tip of his ear.
    He sucked in a breath and stared down at her with
that same wicked grin on his face.
    “I have just what you need. There is no reason for
you to beg.” He walked her backward to the bed where he turned her
and laid her face down. She leaned on her forearms, ass in the
