The Nanny’s Unplanned Marriage Note to self: when working as an intergalactic nanny, don't buy the cheapest language translator on the market. When Serena Wilkins finds herself on the wrong ship, landing on the wrong planet, and accidentally almost marrying two strangers, she has no reason to believe her day might improve. Stranded, penniless, and jobless, she finds herself in the middle of a new world, where sexuality is joyfully explored and relationships come in threes. In a culture where naked is normal and watching is encouraged, Serena finds herself fantasizing about the two men who offered her shelter. Kaydin son of Halimina and Jerrod son of Gerdavia have long dreamed of starting a family together. The recent approval of human mail-order brides to Descon seems just the way to get started. The woman who turns up is the wrong one, yet Serena is absolutely perfect for them. Convincing her to stay just might be a whole lot of fun.

Prologue “What is it you want me to say, Serena? If you hadn’t come home early none of this would have happened.” Serena opened her mouth and no words came out. How was it that she found her current live-in boyfriend in bed with her soon-to-be exbest friend yet somehow she was the one left defending herself? Hell! It was her house. The least they could do was not lecture her on how rude it was to barge into her own freakin’ bedroom. Anger churned in her gut, the acid gurgling into her throat as she finally took a really good look at the man who claimed to love her. She’d forgiven him almost everything, made a million excuses for his uncaring and selfish behavior, and still he’d found a way to hurt her more than she’d ever considered possible. “Out!” she said in a very low, very quiet voice, one hand pressed to her heart, the other pointing the way. “Serena, babe, be reasonable,” Craig said as he approached her with what she’d once called his charming smile. “If you didn’t work all the time, Jenny wouldn’t have spent so much time here waiting for you. You know, in a way, babe, this is your fault for leaving me alone so often.”

“My fault?” she asked as tears threatened. She worked two jobs, trying to keep the roof over their heads and food on the table, and still manage to put money away for the rosy future they’d supposedly been planning together. “My fault?” she asked just a little bit louder, her anger starting to pump again as every dollar Craig had wasted while “waiting” for her to finish work slid through her mind. “My fucking fault?” she screeched in a tone of voice she’d never heard leave her own mouth. She laid the blame for that unflattering sound squarely at his lying, cheating feet. He hadn’t held a job for more than a couple of months at a time since she’d met him. There had always been some excuse, some reason for things to have not worked out. She’d forgiven him every time, supported him, and helped him find something else, quite often after several months of sitting on his ass “waiting” for her to finish work. “Reeeenie,” her best friend said, trying to placate her with the cutesy name she’d used when they’d been children. “I didn’t mean for it to happen like this.” “Oh? And how did you mean for it to happen?” Jenny frowned, obviously not expecting Serena’s sarcasm. Seriously? Had she been such a doormat? The answer to that was pretty obvious when Jenny huffed, threw her arms in the air, and stormed out the door, her parting words—“I’ll speak to you when you decide to be reasonable!”—almost knocking Serena on her ass. She managed to force out, “Not fucking likely!” before the other woman left the house. Serena tried not to flinch at the sound of the front door slamming. She’d considered Jenny her best friend since middle school, but at the moment she couldn’t even remember one single reason why. The woman was demanding, self-centered, obnoxious, and completely annoying—and that was on a good day. Serena glanced at the man sitting quietly on the bed, waiting for her to calm down and be her usual reasonable self. Dragging his pants back on might have helped her state of mind, but with him sitting there, cock obviously not

thrilled to see her despite what he’d been doing with her best friend only a few moments ago, all it did was piss her off. “Get out!” “Where do you expect me to go?” he asked in a hurt voice as if she were somehow the one who’d wounded him. “I really don’t care.” “But I do, babe. I care about you. Look, how about I make a soothing cup of chamomile tea, and when you calm down we can sort this little mess out?” Little mess? How on earth could she have been so naïve as to have thought herself in love with this man? She dropped her head into her hand, rubbing tiredly at the headache behind her eyes. “Please, just go. I want some time alone.” “Sure,” he said, sounding like the loving man she’d once thought him to be as he dragged on his clothes. “I’ll just head down to the bar and have a few drinks with the guys. We’ll talk when you’re feeling calmer.” “Okay,” she managed to force past a rapidly tightening throat. How could he think she’d be willing to let him back into her life after this? Desperate for a little space, Serena didn’t object to the kiss he placed on her forehead. She just ground her teeth together and tried not to kick him in the balls. But as he stepped toward the front door, he did the one thing guaranteed to prove that he’d been taking advantage of her for a very long time—he grabbed her credit card. “…need a change? Ever wanted to travel? See the universe? Visit other worlds? Well here’s your chance. Join the intergalactic nanny service and get paid to explore the galaxy. What are you waiting for? Give us a call today!” Serena glanced at the vid-screen, shook her head tiredly at yet another example of Craig’s idea of minimizing their expenses— premium, pay by the minute, cable television that he wasn’t even watching.

But as she reached for the remote to turn the damn thing off, the last question sank into her brain. What was she waiting for?

Chapter One Jerrod watched his tredellabina pace the room nervously, his formal clothing doing nothing to hide the hard cock pressed against the material. Kaydin was obviously nervous about finally meeting their mubella, but it would seem that he was also quite excited by the idea of having a third in their bed. “What is the word humans use for mubella?” Kaydin asked worriedly. “Wife,” Jerrod answered with a grin. He’d been one of the royal guards on duty the day Earth Ambassador Cindy Richards had arrived and the fault in the translator had been discovered. The translations for mubella and mubellabina were ones he knew he would never forget. “And tredella and tredellabina both mean husband?” Kaydin asked with a soft smile. Jerrod held his arms open and Kaydin stepped into his embrace. “Yes, she’ll be our wife and we’ll be her husbands.” Kaydin wrapped his arms around Jerrod’s waist. He was quiet for so long that Jerrod was beginning to wonder if he’d finally gotten over his nerves. It wasn’t like Kaydin to be so anxious, but considering the circumstances it was understandable. “Did we do the right thing?” Kaydin asked quietly. Jerrod had asked himself the same thing probably a thousand times in the past few days. They’d very literally won a lottery to be in the first group of Desconians to be joined to human women. When they’d filled in the entry form they really hadn’t considered the possibility they might win. But now that their dream of having offspring was only an

arranged marriage away, Jerrod had spent a lot of time wondering if they’d done the right thing. What sort of female would willingly leave everything she’d known to come live on a faraway planet with partners she’d never even had a conversation with? Did he even want a woman like that to be the mother of his children? He pulled his tredellabina closer and ran a soothing hand up Kaydin’s spine. He didn’t want to worry the man by showing how nervous he was feeling as well, but he didn’t want to lie either. “I suppose only time will tell.” **** Serena tapped the space behind her right ear for the millionth time since boarding the transport three days ago. She’d never had a language translator inserted before and it was taking a lot of getting used to. It hadn’t helped that the technology wasn’t working correctly. At the time it had seemed wise to limit her expenses. She was throwing nearly everything she had into this new adventure. If it didn’t work the way she hoped, she at least wanted enough money to find her way back to Earth. Of course now that the translator seemed to only translate every second word she was very much regretting her decision. “What…hmjbutkl…you like…ghretn bjhy?” Considering that she was standing in line at the cafeteria she assumed that the question was “What would you like to order?” At least she hoped that’s what the server had asked her, because pointing to the thing that looked like lasagna and asking for a small serving would probably be very rude if the woman had asked her how her day was. Fortunately, the server smiled, grabbed a plate, piled it high despite her request for a small serving, and handed it over the counter. Serena almost blanched at the cost when she got to the pay area, but
The Nanny’s Unplanned Marriage
13
paid it anyway. At least this would be her last meal on the transport. In a few hours they would land on the planet where her first assignment as a nanny would begin. When she’d made the decision she’d been so excited. Now, all she could think about was how different her life was about to become. She wasn’t even sure why she’d chosen such a dramatic change. Well, she did have an inkling as to why she’d reacted so out of character, but she refused to waste any more energy thinking about her exboyfriend and ex-best friend. But even that determination didn’t quell the butterflies beating frantic wings in her stomach. She forced the food down, unwilling to leave anything she’d just paid good money for, but then started to worry she wouldn’t be able to keep it in her nervous stomach. Annoyed at the anxiety that just seemed to grow exponentially each moment, Serena closed her eyes and willed herself to relax. She needed this. She needed the change, and she especially needed to be pushed out of the comfortable, but not entirely happy, rut that she’d gotten herself into on Earth. “The…juhgy…jbik…be landing…jikswejbj. Please…geehjyki…to disembark.” The disembodied voice was hopefully advising that she should prepare to disembark. If she was supposed to be already packed she was in a whole heap of trouble. **** Kaydin shivered in Jerrod’s embrace. “Hey,” Jerrod said, lifting Kaydin’s chin so that he could look into his eyes. “What was that about?” Kaydin closed his eyes and felt a blush creep across his cheeks. “Sorry,” he said on a hoarse whisper, “I was just thinking about what should happen next.” He opened his eyes and searched Jerrod’s worriedly. “You said that Cindy Richards fainted at her first

mubellabina claiming ceremony. What if our mubella is equally overwhelmed?” Jerrod smiled. “Then we will deal with that when it happens.” Kaydin dragged in a deep breath. He was usually more composed, but they’d been dreaming about having a family for so long that now it was here it felt too good to be true. He really wanted to ask what would happen if their mubella didn’t like them, but it felt almost like he was cursing the future by saying the words out loud. “Sir,” one of Jerrod’s fellow guards said as he stuck his head in the room, “we just received word that the ship from Earth has landed. Your mubella will be escorted to the preparation room and somebody will come to get you shortly after.” “Thanks, Ewin,” Jerrod said, dropping the formality. He only insisted that his team use correct titles while on duty. Outside of their work, he considered his teammates good friends. So did Kaydin. Ewin seemed to study Kaydin’s tense body language. “You probably have enough time to work off a bit of that tension.” And then because Ewin and his partner knew Jerrod and Kaydin pretty well he added, “I could organize for a small audience, if you wish.” “Thanks,” Jerrod said, “but I think we might spend some time together first.” Kaydin felt a bizarre mixture of tension and relief. Desconians were a very sensual people and often indulged their voyeuristic tendencies. As much as Kaydin would enjoy the relief of a hot and fast orgasm, right now he just wanted to spend time with the man he loved. But Jerrod seemed to have other ideas. As soon as Ewin left the room, Jerrod lifted Kaydin off the ground, carried him to the oversized sofa, and encouraged him to lie back. Already, Kaydin could feel his cock pressed hard against his formal clothing. He sighed with excitement and relief when Jerrod undid the fastenings and wrapped his hand around his aching shaft.

“What I really want to do,” Jerrod said as he squeezed Kaydin’s cock quite hard, “is roll you over and spank your ass and then fuck you into next week.” Kaydin couldn’t hold back the moan. Jerrod grinned, leaned over, and licked the bead of pre-cum off his cock. “But since we have limited time…” Kaydin’s eyes nearly rolled into the back of his head. Jerrod’s suction was exquisite. It didn’t matter that they’d been together for many years, or that they’d done this countless times. Every single time Jerrod wrapped his lips around Kaydin’s cock he wanted to explode. Jerrod palmed his balls, caressing them gently as he took Kaydin’s cock deep into his throat and swallowed. Unable to control his reaction, Kaydin grasped his lover’s head, holding him to his cock, trying to thrust up into his mouth. But Jerrod was ready for him, pressing him down, stopping his frantic movements, the heady sensation of being trapped and at his man’s mercy tipping Kaydin that much closer to bursting. It was the hum that did him in. Jerrod swallowed around him, his tongue and throat caressing his cock and enveloping him in wet warmth. His sensual moan and hum of appreciation sent vibrations up and down Kaydin’s spine until he could no longer hold back. Crying out his relief, Kaydin filled Jerrod’s mouth with his cum, moaning again and again as Jerrod suckled his softening flesh, cleaning up every drop of his seed. Barely able to breathe, Kaydin dragged Jerrod over the top of him, fusing their mouths together in a frantic kiss. “I love you,” he whispered over and over as he peppered his lover’s face with soft kisses. “I know,” Jerrod said with a soft laugh. “And I love you, too.” ****

Serena wasn’t quite sure what was going on. She’d expected some sort of interview or briefing or meeting of sorts, but what she’d gotten instead was a visit to what seemed to be a beauty salon. When the women insisted that she step into a tub of red liquid that looked like some sort of disinfectant, she wondered if this was maybe a kind of delousing. She’d never been off-planet before, but she supposed it was probably a necessary step to ensure that she didn’t bring any unexpected microscopic little critters with her. She went to dip her head under the water but a surprisingly strong grip in her hair dragged her face back up. “No…jhedn…permanent.” “Oh,” she said, not really understanding the warning thanks to her cheap-ass faulty translator. The women around her urged her out of the tub a moment later, and as she stepped out she was surprised to notice every hair on her body had been removed. The urge to clap her hand over her suddenly bald pussy was near overwhelming, but two of the women grasped her hands and led her to a type of massage bench. They arranged her facedown on the padded mattress and then left the room. Surprised to be left alone, Serena was still deciding whether to get up and look around or stay where they’d left her when the door opened and two people came in—men, judging by the footwear that she could see. “Stekal...beautiful…seera,” one of the men said as he stepped closer to the table. “Heedonal si doe…honor and a privilege…mubella.” She wanted to ask what they meant by honor and privilege, but in the last few moments it had finally occurred to her that she may not be given a position as nanny simply because she couldn’t understand the damn language. She’d spent nearly every cent she had—except for her passage home—so ending up jobless now was certainly not an option.
The Nanny’s Unplanned Marriage

She nodded her head without actually lifting it from the hole in the table and hoped that her response was appropriate. If she could just muddle through the first few weeks as a nanny, she’d spend her first paycheck on getting the stupid translator fixed. The men seemed satisfied by her response, so she took a fortifying breath and tried to relax—a situation that proved nearly impossible when the two of them started smoothing a sweet-smelling lotion all over her skin. She’d never had a massage before, and despite the fact that she was probably sporting a full-body blush, relaxed under their competent touches. She squeaked in surprise when thick fingers dipped between the cheeks of her ass, but she managed to hold still as the man massaged copious amounts of lotion over the sensitive skin. Embarrassment flared anew when they urged her to roll onto her back, but the firm touch and warm hands all over her body quickly distracted her with more carnal thoughts. She moaned before she could stop herself, barely even realizing the sound came from her own mouth until the taller of the two men leaned over and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. He smiled warmly, touched her face with just the tips of his fingers, and went back to work. After the attention they’d given to her ass, she wasn’t really surprised when they urged her to open her legs and began massaging the lotion into her mound, around her clit, and then lower. Every inch of her tingled as they very thoroughly coated her pussy inside and out. Their touch was gentle, almost loving, but she had to wonder if this process varied from a usual massage on this planet. Was this part of the new culture she’d decided to embrace? If she hadn’t been on the verge of begging them to keep going until she screamed in orgasm, she might have even been a little unnerved by the whole process. But then everything stopped. She opened her eyes to find both men smiling down at her. They were both quite tall, from what she could tell in her lying-down position, but that was where the similarity ended. The shorter of the two men was a slightly thinner
18

build, but it was obvious that he exercised regularly and took care of himself. His hair was a red-gold color and his eyes a deep hazel brown. The taller man had bright blue eyes and definitely reset the bar for Serena’s idea of tall, dark, and handsome, but if someone had asked her to choose at that moment, a greedy voice inside her said “both.” Serena finally realized she was looking at these men—these professional masseuses or maybe even medical staff—and dreaming romantic thoughts. This was obviously their job. They probably did this for every off-worlder who stepped foot on their planet. Sheesh. She had no business thinking that way about anyone. Hadn’t she been hurt enough by the last guy she’d thought she’d loved? The tears in her eyes took her by surprise, but it was the men’s reaction that kept them flowing. The words they asked were completely jumbled by the translator, but considering their concerned expressions she assumed they asked if she was all right. The trouble was that when she nodded in a “yes, I’m fine” gesture, the tears flowed even faster. Serena somehow found herself cradled against the tall man’s chest as he carried her over to a seat, sat down, and rocked her like a frightened child. The fact that she was naked and more turned on than any time she could remember in her whole three-year relationship with her ex just made the whole situation even more bizarre. Both men spoke constantly in soothing-sounding words, but not being able to understand them just made her more miserable. Unable to hold back the emotional storm that had been brewing since that night, Serena let herself go and fell into the abyss of misery. **** Jerrod held their woman close and wondered if this was the best way to treat a crying human female. He was trying to set aside for the moment that she was naked and hopefully understand why she was
The Nanny’s Unplanned Marriage
19
upset. It was obviously a big decision to move to a different planet, culture, and lifestyle, but after the fiasco that had followed the first human bride’s arrival the Desconian government had sent a delegation to Earth to screen the women before letting them emigrate to their planet. Judging by the crying woman in his arms, the screening process seemed to have a few holes. “I’m sorry,” the woman said as she cried even harder. She tucked her head under his chin, muffling her sobs against his shirt. Kaydin sat beside them and pulled her legs into his lap. He caressed her feet and calves, gently easing the tension from her body as the woman finally cried herself out. After several minutes of complete quiet, the woman made a hiccupping noise and dragged in a deep faltering breath. “I’m sorry,” she whispered again, obviously embarrassed by her emotional meltdown. “That’s okay, little one,” he said, brushing the hair away from her face. Even red and blotchy from crying, their mubella was beautiful. “Do you feel better now?” But instead of answering his question the woman glanced around the room and started apologizing all over again. He was about to cut off her rambled explanation when she begged him not to mention this outburst to her new boss. He glanced sharply at Kaydin, seeing his own shock reflected in his lover’s face. “Boss?” he asked, trying not to grind his teeth. What the hell were they telling the human women before they got here? She looked a little frightened, so he tried to lower his voice. “Who did they tell you would be your boss?” The woman gave him a nervous smile, her gaze darting around the room before settling back on his face. But again she didn’t answer his direct question. “I th–think I’m okay now. You can let me up.”

But Jerrod couldn’t shake the feeling that something was very wrong here. He wasn’t going to go ahead with a mubella claiming ceremony until he was certain his human bride understood what was going on. “Sara, what did they tell you about moving to Descon?” She gave him a vague smile, patted his arm, assured him once again that she was all right now, and tried to climb off his lap. He held her closer instead. A suspicion was starting to worm its way into his brain, and he decided to tackle the issue head-on. He’d never been one to dance around the truth anyway. “Sara, do you understand anything I’m saying?” Again the vague smile. Kaydin looked shocked, so Jerrod pulled him close for a moment before dragging his communicator from his back pocket. It took some maneuvering, but he finally managed to press the small earpiece and mic into place without letting go of his husband or the woman they’d hoped would be their wife. He tapped the mic to switch it on. “Ewin,” he said, hoping the man was still on duty. He’d lost track of time in this room, and even though he could see the women who would finish his mubella’s preparation waiting just outside the door he wasn’t leaving until he knew exactly what was going on. **** Kaydin wasn’t at all surprised when Jerrod asked Ewin to track down Cindy Richards. Hopefully their problem communicating with their mubella was a translator malfunction. It didn’t happen often, but there were a few shoddy companies selling them cheaply. At least with Cindy Richards speaking the standard language of Earth they would be able to identify if their mubella was simply not understanding them. He tried not to think of some of the alternatives,
The Nanny’s Unplanned Marriage
21
all of which would mean that their hopes for the future were seriously in doubt. They wouldn’t take a mubella into their lives unless it was truly what the woman wished. As usual Jerrod seemed to sense Kaydin’s sad thoughts. His arm tightened around Kaydin’s shoulders and he leaned over to press a kiss to his forehead. “We’ll work it out,” he whispered in his usual confident voice. The woman seemed surprised by their affection for each other, confirming in his mind at least that she wasn’t fully aware of what her role would be in their relationship. In fact, just about everything the human had said and done so far didn’t seem to fit what Kaydin had been expecting. There was a soft knock on the partially open door, and a moment later Cindy Richards entered the room with both the prince and princess by her side. Kaydin gave her a smile that he hoped wasn’t as shy as it felt. Cindy was the primary reason they’d entered the lottery to win one of the first chances to take a human woman as their mubella. She was calm, relaxed, comfortable in her surroundings, and had adapted very well to life on Descon. Both Kaydin and Jerrod had hoped for a similarly happy union to that of the three people who’d just joined them in the room. Considering the way things had started with their mubella, it seemed unlikely. “Hi, Sara,” Cindy said with her hand stretched in front of her. Apparently humans were more comfortable “shaking” hands than they were with public displays of affection. The woman in his arms curled in on herself, seemingly embarrassed by the fact that she was naked. Kaydin quickly grabbed a square of cloth from the table beside him and draped it over the woman in his lover’s arms. She gave him a grateful smile and, tucking the edges under her arms to hide her beautiful breasts, held her hand out for Cindy to shake. “Welcome to Descon,” Cindy said with a wide grin. “Did you have a pleasant trip?”
22

“It was okay,” the woman said with a genuine-looking smile. She glanced around the room as if seeing it for the first time. “I’m sorry to have caused such a fuss.” “That’s okay,” Cindy said warmly. “I imagine it can be quite overwhelming even when you know what to expect from a mubella claiming ceremony.” The woman tapped her ear. It was obvious that she thought the translator was malfunctioning. Cindy smiled. “The word mubella doesn’t translate into the Earth language.” She glanced over at her own mubella. “I changed that myself when I realized how easily it could be misinterpreted. But don’t worry. It still has a very similar meaning to the word wife.” “Wife?” their mubella asked quietly. She looked like she was going to be sick. “I thought I was signing on to be a nanny.”
The Nanny’s Unplanned Marriage
23
Chapter Two Jerrod tried not to pace the hallway. The moment Cindy had realized the mix-up she’d kicked everyone out of the room. Sara—no, Serena—wasn’t the woman who’d been sent to be their mubella. A quick check on the ship’s manifesto showed that their mubella, Sara Coates, hadn’t even boarded the ship from Earth. Authorities on Earth were currently trying to figure out what had happened, but considering his previous dealings with human organizations Jerrod wasn’t holding much faith in them finding her. Cindy had stuck her head out the door only a few minutes ago and asked for Eric to organize a visit from the doctor. The fear that their mubella might be ill had pounded through him before he could even remind himself that Serena was not the woman chosen to be their wife. He still felt sick to the stomach with worry. He dragged Kaydin into his arms and held on tight. It almost didn’t seem real that only a few hours ago they’d been wondering whether taking a human mubella into their lives was the right thing to do. The disappointment they were feeling suggested that they’d both been ready. “Maybe you should head home,” Eric said with a sympathetic smile. “We’ll make sure Serena gets where she’s supposed to be.” “No,” Kaydin said quietly. Jerrod shook his head. “Thank you, Eric, but we would like to stay for a while. Maybe get a chance to talk to Serena before she leaves.” The idea of Serena leaving without giving them a chance to know her didn’t sit well at all. It seemed ridiculous that they would feel such a strong attraction to a woman they’d just met. It was likely due to the
24
Rachel Clark
mistaken belief that she’d been theirs to love, but he didn’t want to just walk away. Eric smiled and clapped him on the shoulder, almost as if he understood completely. Considering the mix-up around his own mubellabina’s claiming, perhaps he did. And it was at least heartening to know that Earth Ambassador Cindy Richards had grown to love both Eric and Loukie despite being married to them accidently. The door opened and Cindy stepped into the hallway. She kept herself between them and the door so it was obvious they weren’t being invited in. “I believe the problem has been caused by a faulty translator. It seems Serena Wilkins has been traveling for days without being able to understand even half of what was being said.” “Why didn’t she say anything?” Eric asked before Jerrod could form the words. “It would seem that money is an issue. She used almost every cent she had to get to her new job. Unfortunately, the faulty translator means she was on the wrong ship, to the wrong planet. Did we find out what happened to the woman who should be here?” “She didn’t board the ship,” Eric said. “Perhaps you have some contacts on Earth who could help find out what happened.” Cindy didn’t look very confident, and after her last disastrous trip to Earth who could blame her, but she nodded. “I’ll do my best.” She glanced over her shoulder. “The doctor is almost finished replacing her translator.” She stepped into the hallway and closed the door behind her. “Serena is very concerned that she doesn’t have the money to pay for her treatment. I told her not to worry, but she is insisting on paying her own way. Would it be possible to organize a work visa for her?” Eric smiled, nodded his head, and touched his wife’s face. “Of course, if that is what Serena wants. I’m sure we can find some sort of employment for her.”

25
He looked directly at Kaydin and Jerrod as he said that, obviously giving them an opportunity to keep the woman close if they wanted. Kaydin had never been slow on the uptake. “There is a teacher’s aide position vacant at the school. I’m certain that the principal would view Cindy’s nanny skills quite highly.” “Excellent,” Eric said with a quick wink. “I’ll make a few calls. Perhaps you could assist Serena in finding a place to stay while she is on Descon.” Jerrod nodded his thanks, hugging Kaydin harder as the possibilities started to roll through his brain. **** Serena was certain she was bright red with embarrassment. She’d foolishly left more than half of the money in her joint account with her ex. At the time, she’d been trying to calculate how much money he would need to pay out the rental agreement, keep himself fed, and cover other preexisting expenses until he could get back on his feet. In actuality he’d probably taken the money, partied hard for a few days, and then moved in with his latest bed-buddy. It was quite likely that debt collectors would come looking for her when her ex failed to use the money responsibly. And of course, trying to do the right thing had left her without enough money to buy a good translator and landed her here on the wrong planet and mistaken for some sort of mail-order bride. “Everything will work out just fine, Serena,” the doctor said kindly. “But I can’t pay you,” she said anxiously, half expecting the man to rip out the new translator and leave in a huff. Instead, he smiled kindly. “I have no need for compensation,” the man said happily as he packed his equipment away. He must have recognized something in

the stubborn set of her jaw because he turned an assessing look on her once more. “But perhaps you could do me a favor.” “Anything,” Serena said, probably unwisely, but she believed in paying her debts. “Be kind to Jerrod and Kaydin. It’s supposed to be their wedding day. They’ve waited a long time for their mubella. For her to not arrive today must be devastating.” Serena nodded. “I’m really sorry I’m not the woman they were expecting.” The doctor nodded and tilted his head slightly. “I’m a great believer that things happen for a reason. Maybe the goddess has bigger plans.” He patted her arm in a friendly gesture that reminded her of her grandfather and then left the room quietly. A few moments later Cindy came back into the room with the two men from earlier. The two men who’d believed she was their bride. “I’m sorry,” she blurted before Cindy could say whatever she’d been about to say. “I should have said something about my translator, or waited longer until I could afford a better-quality one, or verified the name the transport hostess had called instead of assuming Serena was translating as Sara. I’m so sorry. If I could do it all over again, I’d do it differently.” **** Kaydin watched the genuine distress in Serena’s eyes and wanted to simply hold her until she realized that everything was all right. Sure, they were frustrated that their mubella hadn’t gotten onto the transport ship, but they would have been disappointed even if Serena hadn’t ended up in their arms by accident. At least they’d been able to stop the preparation before the attendants painted his and Jerrod’s family designs onto her beautiful body. A soft sensual moan escaped Serena’s lips just as it occurred to

Kaydin that they had used the lotion on her after the hair removal process. “The lotion,” he said quickly, wondering how the hell to handle this situation. The whole reason Desconians used that particular lotion in claiming ceremonies was its ability to increase arousal in the person wearing it. “Hell, sorry, I should have thought of that,” Cindy said as she stepped closer to Serena. “Honey, what you’re feeling is normal. A cool bath will help take the edge off, but…” She glanced over her shoulder at Jerrod and Kaydin. “The only surefire cure is orgasms. Lots and lots of orgasms.” Serena’s eyes widened, but she nodded her understanding and blushed even more brightly. “Kaydin, can you contact my quarters and ask Jessain to fill the bath with cool water?” “Our place is closer,” Jerrod said quickly. Cindy hesitated a moment, but nodded and turned to Serena. “Serena, this is Jerrod son of Gerdavia, one of the king’s most trusted royal guards, and his tredellabina—his husband—Kaydin. They’re going to get you into a bath and provide you with whatever you require.” She gave both men a serious look before adding, “Including privacy if you so wish.” Serena nodded frantically, rubbing her thighs together even though she was once again fully clothed. The lotion was obviously affecting her quite a lot now. “Of course,” Kaydin said quickly. “Serena might be more comfortable if Jerrod carried her. I don’t think walking will help matters at the moment.” Serena shook her head, but didn’t object when Jerrod stepped closer and lifted her against his chest. He was careful not to touch her anywhere that a human woman might feel was inappropriate as they stepped into the corridor and headed directly to their quarters.

**** Serena tried not to moan quite so loudly, but just having Jerrod’s strong arms around her was enough to send her libido soaring skyhigh. Whatever was in that lotion sure worked well. Under different circumstances she might even have welcomed the effects. But not today. Not here. Not now. She was on a different planet, surrounded by strangers—kind though they may be—and unsure of where or what her next move should entail. As soon as they entered a rather spacious-looking apartment, they turned toward a bathing area and Kaydin hurried to turn on the taps. As the water filled the huge tub he opened a side cupboard and started moving things onto the bench beside the bath. At first Serena didn’t recognize any of the items, but when a strange-looking type of seat that included a very real-looking cock landed beside her, Serena finally started identifying a few of the others. “These are all new,” Kaydin said as he added a jar of what looked to be lube to the rather large pile of sex toys. “We bought them for our mubella, so at least they will be put to some use.” “Thank you,” Serena said quietly. Her arousal was climbing so high that even the strange cock-seat looked appealing. Of course it had nothing compared to the men on either side of her. “We understand that humans prefer to masturbate in private, so we’ll leave you be.” Kaydin reached over and pointed to a button on a wall within arm’s reach of the bath. “If you need anything just press this button.” “Thanks,” she said again, more breathlessly this time as sensual ideas of what the three of them could do together wound through her brain and made her clit ache with need. But it wasn’t right. Hell, apart from the fact that she’d only just met them and barely knew a thing about them, they were promised to someone else. Once they found this Sara person they’d be happily married.

But even that thought didn’t quell her rampaging libido. Jerrod leaned over and pressed a kiss to her forehead. It took every ounce of self-control she owned to resist dragging him closer and devouring his mouth instead. She breathed a sigh of relief as the two men turned and headed out of the room. She was almost naked before the door closed behind them. A few moments later the cool water felt wonderful on her overheated skin, and already she was beginning to feel less frantic. She took a deep breath, held it a moment, and then tried to push the tension away. She was almost there, almost calmer than she’d felt in weeks, but a quick glance at all of the toys beside her undid the water’s good work. Visions of Jerrod fucking her from behind while Kaydin licked and sucked her breasts filled her head, and before she could even deny the impulse she grabbed the strange-looking seat. It took a bit of maneuvering but she finally managed to get it underneath her in the bathtub. Just the promise of a thick, hard cock filling her aching pussy was enough to have her panting eagerly. She lifted onto her knees, hooking her legs over the seat like it was a saddle on a horse. She moaned at the delicious feeling of pressure against her vaginal opening. She’d missed this so much. God, how long had it been? She couldn’t even remember the last time her ex had shown her any sort of affection. But when she closed her eyes, it wasn’t his face she saw. It was Jerrod’s. She gasped as she lowered slowly onto the surprisingly lifelike-feeling cock. She took it all, greedy to fill the aching loneliness inside her, her mind’s eye still weaving pictures of Jerrod fucking her. She could almost feel his big hands wrapped around her hips, guiding her down his cock, forcing more of himself inside her, before lifting her away and starting the slow glide down once more. She pushed her hands against the edge of the seat, balancing herself more securely, and groaned when her fingers pressed some sort of button that made the cock inside her start vibrating. She
30
Rachel Clark
lowered again onto the seat, her clit brushing against a strange little nub that made her newly denuded pussy clench in shock. Moaning, she lifted up again, slamming down as her need became more urgent. Again and again she lifted off the cock, only to shimmy back down almost immediately, grinding her clit against the tiny protrusion put there exactly for that reason. “Oh, god,” she whispered breathlessly as tremors began in the pit of her stomach and moved lower. Every muscle in her legs pulled tight, every cell in her body went on red alert, every nerve ending sizzled and snapped with excitement. She could see Kaydin and Jerrod in her mind, practically feel them. They were inside her, around her, over her, bringing her pussy to aching life. Her clit ached, the tiny bud throbbing with her heartbeat, her mind placing Kaydin’s hand there, stroking her until she shook with arousal, until she couldn’t hold back her groans of excitement, until she couldn’t quiet the voice in her head that told her to come. She screamed, the sensation intense, incredible, amazingly satisfying. Her heart raced as her pussy clenched around the hard cock inside her, her muscles quivering as she shook in ecstasy. Panting, gasping, barely able to breathe, Serena kept her eyes closed, imagined her men close. She could see the satisfaction on their faces as they touched her gently, soothing her, loving her, smiling at her as if she were the most important person in their universe. And as she finally eased herself away from the amazing seat she couldn’t help wishing the fantasy was real. **** Jerrod stayed close to the bathroom door. It wasn’t that he wanted to eavesdrop. He only wanted to be near if Serena needed anything. Her soft moans had his cock absolutely rock hard, but he found himself smiling despite the uncomfortable feeling. He’d read somewhere that many human women didn’t enjoy sexual relations.

There were even religions on Earth that considered copulation evil. It seemed a very strange mind-set to someone raised to believe sex was a very deeply emotional expression of love that should be shared with others. Desconians enjoyed watching. They usually kept their physical touching within their own relationship, but it was very common for friends to watch. He well remembered Cindy’s shyness when she’d first fallen in love with Eric and Loukie, but she’d soon embraced love the Desconian way. He wondered if Serena would one day feel the same thing. Judging by the lusty scream he’d heard moments ago, he certainly hoped so. “She’s not ours,” Kaydin said sadly, almost as if he could see into Jerrod’s mind. “I know,” he said, feeling the disappointment over again. “But she needs a place to stay.” Kaydin smiled. “That she does, but we need to know what happened to Sara first.” “I suppose,” Jerrod agreed, “but it’s not like we’re the only couple looking for a mubella. If she does make it to Descon the authorities will easily find a place for her.” “True,” Kaydin said with more enthusiasm. “And we certainly have room enough to invite Serena to stay.” “That we do,” Jerrod said with a broad smile. He pulled his lover into his arms, leaning back slightly so that he could see Kaydin’s face and still press their cocks together intimately. “You feel it, too, this connection, this attraction to Serena?” It wasn’t really a question. He could see the answer in Kaydin’s eyes, but he breathed a sigh of relief when his lover nodded and leaned up to press a kiss to his lips. “Yes, I feel it, and yes, I hope Serena chooses to stay, but we have to give her a chance to make up her own mind.” “Oh,” Jerrod said, “so I’m not allowed to use my natural loving charm to coax her into our arms?”
32

Kaydin laughed, the stress lines around his eyes easing slightly. “I never said we couldn’t try.” It was probably foolish to set their hopes on a woman who’d come to Descon accidently and without the intention of finding a couple of husbands, but the connection to Serena seemed so real, so promising. Hopefully, she felt it, too.

Chapter Three “Ready to go, beautiful?” Serena didn’t need to see the person to recognize the voice. She’d been living with him and his husband for what amounted to three Earth months already. The fact that they effortlessly drew her into their lives was making it really hard to leave. It had taken several weeks for her to be able to adjust to a thirtysix hour day, but she was finding the need to take an after-work nap less and less necessary. Of course, that just meant that she spent even more time with Kaydin and Jerrod. She glanced over her shoulder. “I just need another minute,” she said with a smile. She grabbed the last of the paper “fish” cutouts— Desconian fish weren’t at all like the ones she’d known on Earth— and fastened it to the classroom wall. She’d been working as a teacher’s aide since the day Kaydin had helped her get the job, and she’d truly never been happier. She hadn’t ever considered teaching before, but she found a true contentment dealing with bright young minds each day. Of course, it could have something to do with the fact that children on Descon were precious. With so few females able to conceive, the children who were born were celebrated and protected and given every opportunity to succeed. And yet, despite their indulgent treatment, few of them seemed to be spoiled. Energetic, enthusiastic, bouncy, exhausting some days, but never bratty. It was quite an eye-opener. With so many children born on Earth every year, attitudes, education, and even protection had been
34
Rachel Clark
apathetic at best. If Serena were to have a child, this was where she would like to raise him or her. But of course, whenever she thought of having children, her mind slid to who she would want as her child’s father, and Jerrod and Kaydin were always top of that list. Well, more like the only ones on that list. The trouble was that they were already promised to this mysterious Sara. Serena knew her time with these two wonderful men was limited and that the relationship she had with them was probably more in her head than real. Yet she couldn’t help daydream what a future would be like with both of them. “I need to drop by the market. I promised Jerrod that I would bake another vegetable lasagna tonight,” she said as she washed the sticky glue and colorful paints from her skin. Craft day was one of her favorite days, but for some reason no matter how much she tried to avoid it she always ended up covered in whatever they were working with. Kaydin grinned. “Marry me,” he said dramatically with his hands pressed over his heart. Serena giggled at his silliness. “No, seriously,” he said with a wink that suggested he wasn’t serious at all. “My mother always told me that if I found someone who could cook that I should marry them first chance I got.” “Uh-huh,” Serena said with a smile. “I think your husband might want a say in that.” “Actually,” Kaydin said, turning serious all of a sudden, “Jerrod would be very happy.” Serena couldn’t help herself. She knew it was none of her business, but she had to ask her question anyway. “What about Sara?” “Sara?” he asked in a startled voice. “You think we’re waiting for Sara?” “Aren’t you?” “Heck, no. About a week after we met you the screening team on Earth managed to track her down. It seems that signing up for a marriage on Descon had been her way of making her boyfriend
The Nanny’s Unplanned Marriage
35
jealous enough to marry her. Once he proposed she simply ‘forgot’ to get on the transport.” “Seriously?” She believed him, every word, but it just seemed such callous behavior. It was true that there was no emotional involvement when signing up to be a modern-day mail-order bride, but the woman’s behavior seemed appalling nevertheless. “It sounds like you and Jerrod dodged a bullet that day. You’re far better off without a woman of such fickle decision making.” “I agree,” Kaydin said, his smile firmly back in place. “So will you apply for another?” Serena asked as she shook her hands dry and grabbed her carry bag from her desk drawer. Kaydin looked surprised by her question. Maybe even a little hurt. “No, we won’t be applying for another human bride.” “Oh,” Serena said, trying to hide the little leap in her heart rate. It was silly to fantasize over two men so far out of her realm of possibility, but her silly brain did it anyway. “So…um…” She searched her brain for a change in topic but nothing came to mind. She’d been friends with Kaydin and Jerrod for months, had actually built a comfortable friendship, but somehow all of that got lost under Kaydin’s hurt expression. **** Jerrod stayed outside of the room. He’d gotten home early from a three-day training maneuver and had wanted to surprise his lover and the woman important to both of them by picking them up from work. But instead, he found himself holding his breath, waiting for Kaydin to say something, maybe do something to convince Serena that she belonged with them. Hell, they’d waited and waited for an opportunity to broach the subject, but Serena had never given any indication that she’d be willing to stay on Descon. “Serena, do you know how special you are to me and Jerrod?”
36
Rachel Clark
“Special?” she asked, sounding a little bit shaken. “I’m just that homeless human that you—” Serena’s words cut off abruptly, and Jerrod hoped that it meant Kaydin was kissing her. A quick glance around the open door had his pulse racing and his cock filling so fast he thought it wisest to get out of the hallway. Desconians might have been very comfortable with their sexuality, but that didn’t include having a hard-on in a school hallway. Thankfully, the children were gone for the day, but just to be on the safe side, he stepped into the room. Kaydin and Serena broke apart quickly, obviously startled by his unannounced entry. Kaydin gave him a warm smile and moved into his arms. Thankfully the clever man kept a hold of Serena’s hand, so she had no option but to step closer. Jerrod held his husband close with one arm and held out his other for Serena to take. She searched his face for a moment, gave him a shy smile, and stepped into his embrace. He held them both close. “You’re home early,” Kaydin said as he reached up to press a kiss to his lips. Somehow his lover made it seem so normal, as if the three of them always cuddled together when he came home from a mission or training exercise. “I am,” he said, trying to follow Kaydin’s conversational lead. “And apparently just in time to learn that my favorite meal is on the dinner menu.” He smiled down at Serena and hoped like hell he was saying the right things. What he really wanted to do was strip her naked and explore every beautiful inch of her body until she agreed to be their mubella, but considering they were still inside the school it was neither the time nor the place. “Welcome home,” Serena said. And then she managed to rock his world on its axis by leaning up to kiss him.

37
Chapter Four She kissed him. And he hadn’t let her go since, not even for a moment. Thankfully, Jerrod had brought his flying pod to pick them up. Descon had a very good public transport system that most people used, but right at this moment it was a relief not to have to travel surrounded by other people. “Jerrod,” she asked nervously as his big hand drew tiny circles high on her thigh. “Yes, little one.” His hand stilled for just a moment as he glanced at her face. “Can we…skip going to the market? I mean…I need ingredients for dinner, but I, um…can I make vegetable lasagna tomorrow night?” Kaydin laughed quietly and pressed a kiss to her cheek. “I have a feeling that food is the last thing on our man’s mind.” “You’ve got that right,” Jerrod said as he moved his hand to grasp hers. As soon as they arrived home he landed the flying pod onehanded, quickly ran through the system shutdown sequence, and then hauled Serena onto his lap. She barely had a moment to appreciate the feel of his strong arms around her before his mouth found hers. But his kiss was gentle, affectionate, maybe even a little hesitant until she relaxed in his arms. With a soft sound of pleasure, Jerrod deepened the kiss, touching his tongue to hers tentatively at first, but then stroking her more boldly, taking her mouth more desperately. She let him tilt her
38
Rachel Clark
backward over his arm, opening her mouth wider as the heat of his passion lit the fuse of her own. She moaned, her need to belong to these two amazing men overwhelming all else. She was barely aware of Kaydin guiding them out of the pod, helping Jerrod to exit the vehicle without breaking the most amazing, breathtaking kiss she’d ever imagined. But Jerrod broke the kiss abruptly, panting hard as he stared into her eyes. She stared back, losing herself in the fathomless depths of his gaze. “Are you sure?” he asked raggedly, lowering her feet to the floor so that she could stand in front of him. It was obvious that both he and Kaydin were struggling to keep control. Yet she knew without a shadow of a doubt that they’d both walk away if she said “no.” Over the past few months she’d grown to trust both Jerrod and Kaydin more than any other people she’d ever known. Turning away was the absolute last thing on her mind. “I’m sure,” she said with a self-conscious smile. It felt truly amazing, and maybe a touch bewildering, to be wanted so much by both of them. “Exactly what I needed to hear,” Kaydin said as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her very, very thoroughly. Her knees wobbled, threatening to drop her to the ground, so she sighed when Jerrod pressed his solid body against her back and wrapped his arms around her and Kaydin. “Clothes off,” he whispered as they broke the kiss. “I want to see your beautiful body again, Serena. Memories of the day you arrived have been taunting me for months.” Memories from that day had been taunting her, too, conjuring all sorts of wild imaginings. What would have happened if she’d really been here to be their mubella? Both men stepped back, standing in front of her, watching her closely. Waiting.
The Nanny’s Unplanned Marriage
39
Finally she realized they were waiting for her to make the first move. Even now, even after she’d said she was sure, they were giving her a chance to change her mind, to back away if she felt overwhelmed. She smiled softly, amazed anew by how incredible her men truly were. She lifted her shirt over her head, grateful for the supportive material and design that made wearing a bra unnecessary. She grinned as Kaydin groaned, his hand lifting slightly before he took a deep breath and seemed to force himself to calm down. She toed off her boots and then dragged her pants to her ankles, kicking away the material just as Jerrod dropped to his knees and wrapped his arms around her hips. He pressed a warm, wet kiss to her belly, holding his face against her for an emotion-filled moment. “I need to taste you,” he said in a rough voice. Kaydin stood behind her, supporting her weight as Jerrod pushed her legs wide and touched his tongue to her hairless mound. She shuddered at the pleasure, moaning loudly as he worked his tongue into the folds of her pussy, caressing and teasing her sensitive flesh. It had been three months since her last orgasm. Three months since she’d used that strange seat and pretended it was these two men. “Please,” she whimpered as Jerrod teased her pussy with flickering movements of the tip of his tongue. She almost forgot to breathe when he finally thrust hard and deep, the slightly rough feel of his taste buds only heightening her pleasure. He grabbed her ass, kneading the soft flesh as he lifted her to his mouth, forcing her offbalance and into Kaydin’s embrace, fucking her with his tongue more thoroughly than she could ever have imagined. Kaydin held her up, his arms wrapped around her upper body, supporting her entirely, yet somehow managing to caress her breasts, tweaking her nipples, sending her mind into sensual overload. Shaking, shivering, overwhelmed with need, Serena moaned as her orgasm washed over her, the intense sensation shuddering through her, over her, around her, engulfing her in liquid warmth.

Jerrod groaned between her legs, the vibration dragging her orgasm out, intensifying her release, as he licked and suckled her swollen flesh lovingly, finally leaving her boneless, sated, and entirely exhausted. “On the bed, Serena,” Kaydin said as he lifted her into his arms. But as he turned to move, Jerrod stopped him, threading his fingers through Kaydin’s hair, thrusting his tongue hard into his lover’s mouth. Trapped between them, Serena could see Kaydin licking her juices off Jerrod’s face, his moans of excitement only ramping her recently sated arousal higher once more. She moaned as they broke the kiss, Jerrod’s grin her only warning before Kaydin dropped her into the middle of the bed. She bounced slightly, the mattress molding to her shape a moment later. She watched, fascinated as they stripped off their clothes. Jerrod was solid muscle, not an ounce of fat anywhere on his large frame. Like all Desconians who’d joined with at least one partner, his body was completely hairless, the hard planes showing the cobaltblue family symbols of his tredellabina, his husband, covering his left side. Kaydin was no less beautiful. He was slightly shorter than his tredella, but where Jerrod was raw power and bulging muscle, Kaydin was leaner, sleeker, almost elegant in his movement. The patterns of Jerrod’s family decorated his right arm, the symbols traveling over his chest and down to his hard cock. “I didn’t realize the symbols were so extensive,” she said in a reverent voice as she traced the patterns with her eyes. “They are truly beautiful.” “Thank you, Serena,” Kaydin said simply as he climbed onto the bed to lie beside her. Jerrod slid onto the other side, and then both men rested their heads on their hands, supporting themselves on their elbows as they grinned down at her. Jerrod leaned over her, pressed a soft kiss to her lips, pulled away, and nodded to Kaydin to do the same. But as Kaydin took his time exploring her mouth, Jerrod traced

41
his hands over her shape, learning every curve, touching every inch, leaving trails of fire in his wake. She writhed against the mattress as Jerrod’s fingers parted the folds of her pussy and slid inside, caressing her gently, but somehow raising her passion to unimaginable heights. Kaydin shivered and Serena finally realized Jerrod was doing the same to him, caressing Kaydin’s naked body with his other hand, heightening the pleasure for both of them. Finally, Kaydin pulled away, his eyes closing in an expression of bliss. Serena gazed down to where Jerrod had his fist wrapped hard around Kaydin’s cock, his other hand still thrusting gently into her pussy. “I need to watch you fuck each other,” Jerrod said, his voice raw, hoarse, needy. Kaydin opened his eyes to grin down at her, even now letting her know she still had a chance to walk away. She nodded frantically, wrapping her arms around him and urging him to cover her body. He smiled, leaned up to kiss Jerrod in a lip-lock so hot Serena was sure there should be steam rising between them, and then he moved to lie between her legs. Jerrod moved his fingers higher, grazing lightly over her clit as Kaydin lined his cock up with her pussy. She panted, lifting her hips to meet him, so overwhelmed with her need for these two men that instinct overrode any embarrassment she might have felt at her wanton behavior. **** Kaydin felt his eyes cross as he slid into Serena’s heavenly heat. Her pussy gripped him tight, spasming around him as she adjusted to his size. He held still, not willing to risk hurting her, making certain she was ready for him, before easing out slightly and then sliding back in. He did it again, unable to control the need for this woman.
42

She moaned, shivering slightly as he did it over and over, slowly increasing the pace, the force, the depth. She lifted up to him, meeting his cock as he began to lose control, thrusting her hips up as he slammed back down. Jerrod caressed them both, groaning as he urged them to speed up, his large hand pushing Kaydin down, grinding his hips against Serena’s as her orgasm began. The walls of her pussy fluttered around his cock, sucking him deeper, stealing his control, sending him over the edge into completion way too soon. He moaned long and low, finally grinning when Jerrod patted his butt affectionately. **** Jerrod couldn’t believe the peace flowing through him as he watched the two most important people in his world make love to one another. And it had been love. The affection these two held for each other was very obvious. Fortunately, they both looked at him the way they looked at each other. This was how their lives were meant to be, lovingly entwined, the three of them forging a future together. He watched his husband and the woman he hoped would be his wife caress each other lovingly for a few more moments before his own need gripped him. He rolled onto his back. “Come here, Serena,” he said with possibly more force than he meant. A part of him worried she would be upset by his bossiness, but she simply grinned, pressed a kiss to Kaydin’s lips, and then the two of them moved to straddle his thighs. Kaydin grabbed Jerrod’s cock, holding him upright as they both helped Serena into position. She gave Jerrod a shy smile but held his gaze as she slowly took him into her body. He couldn’t help the groan that escaped him, her tight sheath gripping him like a fist. “Oh my,” she whispered as Kaydin caressed her breasts and Jerrod found her clit with his thumb. Without letting her move, they

43
pushed her into meltdown, holding her hard against Jerrod as her orgasm overwhelmed her. “Again,” Jerrod growled, his need to see the ecstasy on his mubella’s face overwhelming him. Possessiveness swept through him, an emotion he hadn’t felt for anyone other than his tredellabina. Kaydin leaned around Serena, pressed a kiss to his lips, whispered, “I love you,” and then lifted Serena until only the tip of Jerrod’s cock lay inside her. She moaned as Kaydin took over, pushing her down, forcing her to take all of Jerrod’s incredibly hard cock. Again he did it, lifting Serena slowly, lowering her a little faster, lifting her again, until all three of them seemed to move as one, the rhythm awkward but somehow perfect, the emotion genuine, overwhelming, allencompassing. “Come for us, beautiful,” Kaydin whispered, smiling at the surprise Jerrod could feel on his face. Never before had his lover taken the lead in any of their love play, but with Serena in the middle of them it felt natural, incredible, perfect. Serena screamed, her pussy grabbing at his cock over and over, the wet warmth he’d dreamed of so often since they’d met her, somehow more incredible, more amazing, more…more. “Marry us,” Jerrod said as he took over, his hips lifting hard and fast, slamming into her, fucking her, stamping her with his possession. She screamed, bucking against him, rocking, grinding, taking what he gave her and demanding more. He gave it to her, pounding into her pussy like a man possessed. “Marry us,” he demanded again as his cock throbbed, her orgasm claiming his, her soft body ensnaring him more thoroughly than anything he’d ever imagined possible. She shook, shivering and convulsing around him, pressing back against Kaydin as Jerrod filled her with his seed. Completely spent, she eased forward, sprawling on his chest, Kaydin pressed to her back, barely holding his weight off her with shaking arms. Jerrod pressed a kiss to the top of her head, and then

lifted up to take his man’s mouth in a kiss he hoped conveyed how happy he felt at that moment. But then, unbelievably his happiness doubled, tripled, took wings and flew higher as the woman between them whispered the words he’d so desperately wanted to hear. “Yes, I’ll marry you both.”

Chapter Five The doorbell chimed and almost before Serena could get the door opened wide enough Cindy Richards came bouncing into the apartment. Loukie followed her more calmly. “I just heard,” Cindy said with a wide grin. “Why wasn’t I the first to know?” “I think you were,” Serena said with a laugh. She, Jerrod, and Kaydin had spent the whole night getting to know each other. Until the door chimed, Kaydin and Serena had been happily sleeping in each other’s arms. Jerrod had woken them both briefly before going to work, but since it was the Desconian equivalent of the weekend for the schoolchildren, Kaydin and Serena had the chance to sleep in. “As soon as Jerrod turned up for his shift I knew something was different. I would have been here sooner if Eric hadn’t decided to distract us. Apparently being a princess still means I’m not allowed to wake people too early, no matter how exciting the news.” Loukie and Serena both grinned at Cindy’s mock complaint. Their friendship had felt very strange at first. Cindy was an ex–intergalactic ambassador and now married to both a prince and a princess. Technically speaking she was royalty. Why she’d even decided to be friends with Serena was still a cause for wonder. They were so very different, but despite their differences somehow the friendship worked. Cindy had a way of making Serena forget she was a flatbroke human speaking to a Desconian princess. “So details please,” Cindy said as she helped Loukie lower her heavily pregnant body onto a chair and Kaydin joined them in the kitchen. “When? How? Be specific.”

“Last night,” Serena said, wondering how much was appropriate to share. She knew Desconians were quite relaxed with their sexuality, but she wasn’t sure how much of that culture Cindy had embraced. Fortunately, Kaydin answered for her. “Last night, after mind-blowing sex and some of the most amazing orgasms I’ve ever witnessed, Jerrod demanded it.” He laughed at Serena’s nod of agreement and pulled her into his arms. “Ah yes,” Cindy said with a wide grin at her wife, “the same tactics that Eric and Loukie used. Wipe out all my objections with incredible sex.” She winked at Serena. “Although I do believe they actually asked.” She stepped over to the coffee machine—one of the few things imported from Earth—as if making coffee for Cindy in her own kitchen was the most natural thing on the planet. Considering the amount of time Jerrod, Kaydin, and Serena had spent with Cindy and her partners it probably was. “Well, you know Jerrod almost as well as we do,” Kaydin said. “He’s a man who knows what he wants.” “Very true,” she said with a thoughtful look. “Have you organized the mubella claiming ceremony yet?” “Not yet,” Serena said with a small smile. It was barely breakfast time. “Of course not,” Cindy said, rolling her eyes as if she’d just realized the time of day. “Maybe I can help you with that. I mean, if you want.” “Would you like to be my bridesmaid?” Serena asked as genuine affection for the woman wound through her. Cindy had been a wonderfully supportive friend from the moment they’d met. It showed very plainly how poor Serena’s relationship had been with the woman she’d called her best friend when she’d lived on Earth. “I’d like that,” Cindy said with a soft laugh. Serena had heard the story of the ambassador’s accidental marriage—where the word bridesmaid had been misinterpreted by the translators to mean

mubellabina, wife—so asking Cindy to take a supportive role in her marriage to Jerrod and Kaydin seemed strangely fitting. “Excellent,” Loukie said with a devilish grin. “While she’s helping you, she can stop hovering over me.” “Never going to happen, my love,” Cindy said with genuine emotion in her voice. “Although, once the baby arrives I might hover over him—” “Her,” Loukie interrupted in what was their typical teasing argument. They both kept changing their minds, just saying the opposite of whatever pronoun the other used, so it was very clear that they didn’t mind whether their baby was a boy or a girl. “Her, him, twins, triplets, stripy little aliens with purple polka dots…Whatever you have, I will hover over you and the baby, so get used to it.” Loukie gave Cindy such a loving look that it felt almost too personal for an outsider to witness. “What’s Lila up to today?” Kaydin asked. Cindy’s younger sister had apparently been a surprise addition to the family, but it was obvious that she was loved and accepted by Cindy’s partners. The girl still had a few issues from her sad childhood on Earth with a mother who’d not cared for her, but she was growing into a wonderful young woman. “Lila’s catching up on her homework,” Cindy said with a nod. “Thanks for letting me know she was goofing off in class. It’s hard to believe that someone so intelligent could have been treated so poorly by the school system on Earth.” “She’s learning quickly,” Kaydin said with his usual dedication to the job. “It takes a lot to undo the damage done by such negativity. For kids especially it’s always easier to believe the bad stuff they’ve been told than to strive to be better.” He smiled as Cindy handed Loukie a juice, refusing to hand over even a sip of her coffee. “But she’s well on her way to reaching her potential.”

That was the best thing about life on Descon. Every child was precious. Every child, no matter who their parents were, how much money they had, or how different they were, was given the chance to reach their fullest potential. Serena remembered her own struggle to learn in an overcrowded, underfunded school system and was very glad to know her own children wouldn’t suffer the same issues. Her own children… She looked at her friend’s rounded belly and then at the man who could already be the father of her child. She touched her own stomach, happiness unfurling inside her like a flower greeting the sun. Yesterday, she was just a houseguest in Kaydin and Jerrod’s home. Today she was their fiancée and hopefully the soon-to-be mother of their children. **** Kaydin could barely comprehend the excitement pounding through him when he saw Serena’s hand slide over her lower belly. The look of longing she wore as she gazed at Loukie’s enormous baby bump nearly brought him to his knees. Cindy proved that she hadn’t lost the skills she’d developed as an ambassador because she seemed to notice the changed atmosphere in the room, helped her mubella to stand, and then wished them farewell. Almost before he could blink, Loukie had waddled out the door with a bemused look on her face. Cindy winked and then followed her wife outside. Kaydin pulled his mubella into his arms. It might not yet be official, but there was no doubt in his mind that she was his and Jerrod’s wife. He lowered his hand to rest over the soft swell of her belly, imagining what it would be like to feel their child grow under her heart.

“We probably should have talked about that last night,” Serena said quietly. “I was so caught up in the moment that I didn’t even consider contraception or safe sex.” “Mubella,” Kaydin said, enjoying the sound of it on his tongue, “Jerrod and I have wanted you as our wife from the moment we met. I’m glad we’ve had time to get to know each other, but I don’t want to wait to start our family. I doubt Jerrod wants to either.” He pressed a kiss to her lips, fervently hoping he wasn’t scaring her. “I would be thrilled if you were pregnant from our joining last night.” He hesitated, trying to give her an opportunity to slow things down, but desperately hoping she wouldn’t take it. “I mean…as long as you don’t mind trying for a baby this early in our relationship.” “I don’t mind,” she said with that strange mix of shyness and confidence that he so loved about her. They were both startled by the sound of the front door, even more so when Jerrod strode into the room. “Is everything okay?” he asked, concern very clear in his voice. “Of course,” Kaydin answered without letting Serena leave his arms. “So why would Cindy relieve me of duty and send me home? She said my family needs me.” “We do,” Kaydin said as he held his hand out for Jerrod to take. “We’ll always need you, especially now that our mubella has expressed her wish to have our baby as soon as possible.” “You have?” Jerrod said with such wonder in his voice that Kaydin couldn’t help but love the man more. If ever there was a man more suited to being a father, Kaydin had yet to meet him. There was absolutely no doubt in his mind that Jerrod would love, protect, and provide for his family to the very best of his ability. Serena nodded. “If that’s okay with you.” “Okay with me?” Jerrod asked in such a bewildered voice that for a moment Kaydin worried the man’s translator was malfunctioning.

“Okay with me?” He pulled Serena and Kaydin into his embrace. “Little one, I am honored that you want to have our babies.” She grinned impishly, leaned up to press a kiss to his jaw, and asked, “So why are we still standing in the kitchen?” **** Jerrod could barely believe his good fortune. He’d loved Kaydin for years, and between them they had chosen to apply for a human mubella, but never in his wildest dreams had he thought she’d not only love them as they loved her, but that she would magnify their feelings for each other tenfold, a hundredfold, hell, maybe infinitely. Every emotion he’d felt until today paled in comparison to the red-hot, amazing, all-encompassing love he felt for both of the people in his arms right now. He grinned at Serena’s teasing question about why they were still in the kitchen, bent forward, and then lifted her onto the countertop. He didn’t give her a moment to protest, just fused his lips with hers and thrust his tongue into her mouth. She moaned under his gentle assault, wrapping her arms around him as he burrowed his hands into her hair. “No more clothes,” he mumbled against her lips before lifting her slightly so that Kaydin could drag her pants off. As soon as the bossy words left his lips, he knew he was pushing too fast. She was human. They didn’t walk around their homes naked. But he wanted her to. He wanted for him and Kaydin to get back to the lifestyle they’d led before they’d taken to covering their nudity at home in deference to their guest. But she was theirs now, their mubella, their wife, and hopefully very soon the mother of their children, and he wanted a true Desconian mating. “No more clothes,” he said again as he untangled her arms from around his neck so that Kaydin could remove her shirt.

She giggled, glanced at her nakedness, and smiled. “No more clothes,” she said like a magician would say “ta-da.” “No,” he said, realizing that she’d misunderstood him. “No more clothes, ever.” “Ever?” she squeaked in embarrassment. “He means,” Kaydin said, wrapping his arms around Jerrod’s waist, “no more clothes in the apartment—for any of us.” “Oh,” she said, looking relieved, “that’s going to take some getting used to, but I’ll try.” He nodded, silently promising to remind her as often as possible. Although there was a certain appeal in getting the opportunity to tear her clothes off. She grinned at his expression, almost as if she could see exactly what was going on in his mind. “Race you to the bedroom?” she asked with a wink. “Nope,” he said, hauling her over his shoulder, “sofa.” “But,” she started to splutter, but Kaydin must have cut off her words with a kiss because she started to squirm instead, the sweet scent of her arousal filling the room. “No buts, beautiful,” Kaydin said as Jerrod placed her on the sofa and arranged her the way he wanted. He stepped back to drag his own clothes off. “From now on, no clothes inside the apartment and sex wherever and whenever the three of us—or even just two of us— decide it’s what we want.” Jerrod hadn’t expected Kaydin to back up his bossy orders. If anything he relied on Kaydin to be his voice of reason when he went all dominant and possessive. But thankfully, in this subject at least, it seemed the three of them were in agreement. Serena was nodding her head and writhing with need. “Okay, no clothes, sex anywhere and everywhere inside our home. Got it.” Jerrod smiled at her willingness. She might have been living and working on Descon for the past three months, yet for the most part she’d still been living as a human. But just as he thought the matter was settled she tensed up and asked one more question. “What about when we have visitors?”
52
Rachel Clark
“Depends on the visitors,” he said, willing to find a compromise on some things. Watching was quite a big part of Desconian sexuality, but he wouldn’t push things until she was ready. Although, they would have to discuss the mubella claiming ceremony…later. Much later. He dropped to his knees, wedged his hips between her splayed legs, and pressed a kiss to her lips. “But always naked when it’s just the three of us.” “Yes,” she said, smiling shyly, her expression so adorably odd on a woman sprawled in such a wanton position. “Good girl,” he said, unable to stop himself from capturing her lips one more time. “Now I’m going to fuck you while Kaydin watches.” He glanced over his shoulder, hoping that he wasn’t pushing too far, too fast. Kaydin must have had an idea what was on his mind because he nodded and indicated for him to tell Serena. “And then I’m going to fuck Kaydin while he fucks you.” She shuddered all over, her wide-open pussy visibly clenching as arousal dribbled onto her thighs. “Oh, god,” she whispered, nodding her head in agreement. Jerrod didn’t give her a chance to change her mind. He lifted her legs up, lined his cock to her pussy, and thrust hard and deep. She groaned, her pussy walls clamping around him, squeezing and releasing as he started to fuck her slowly. He gasped, surprised to realize he wasn’t going to last. Goddess, had he ever been this turned on before? They’d barely started, and he was ready to blow. “I love you,” she whispered as she wrapped her arms around his neck. That did him in. He grabbed her ass, lifting her higher, fitting her closer to him, capturing her lips, thrusting his tongue in time to the plunge of his cock. Harder and harder he plowed into her, grunting as he tried to wait for her, tried to give her the incredible pleasure she was giving him. She broke their kiss, screaming through her clenched teeth, her orgasm powerful, every muscle in her body shaking as he

took her even harder, pumping violently into her pussy as his own orgasm started. He smiled with arrogant male satisfaction as he marked his woman with his seed, hopefully impregnating her with his child. She clung to him, shaking in reaction. Thank the goddess he was on his knees, because he would have fallen otherwise. But then Kaydin was there, creating the circle, sharing in their moment, completing their love. “I love you both,” he said with a broad smile. Jerrod and Serena leaned over tiredly to kiss Kaydin on either cheek. The mischievous grin that he wore telegraphed the words he was about to share. “And that was fucking amazing to watch, but I do remember somebody promising to ream my ass.” The three of them laughed together, and Jerrod could feel himself going hard just at the thought of sinking into his husband’s tight back passage. “Very true,” Jerrod said as he gazed into their mubella’s eyes, hoping that he was reading her excitement correctly. “I do remember promising to fuck him while he fucks you.” Serena closed her eyes, swallowing hard as a shiver traveled down her body and back up again. He leaned over and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. “I take it you’re okay with that?” “More than okay,” she said with a soft smile. “Well, in that case, little one,” he said as he eased his hardening cock out of her heavenly warmth, “hands and knees.” She giggled, but awkwardly rolled onto her stomach. Kaydin wrapped his hands around her middle, helping to lift her into the position they wanted. Jerrod could see the pre-cum leaking from his husband’s cock and couldn’t stop himself from wrapping his fist around Kaydin’s erection and running a finger over the glistening bead. “I love you,” he said to them both as he urged Kaydin toward Serena’s beautiful pussy. Kaydin sank into their woman’s body with a soft groan, the smile on his face showing very clearly how he felt. He

knelt on the sofa behind her, his beautiful ass at the perfect height for Jerrod’s taking. Jerrod grabbed the lube, squirted a generous amount onto his fingers, and then ran them the length of Kaydin’s crease. Kaydin’s instinctive reaction had him clamping down on Jerrod’s hand and thrusting his cock harder into Serena’s pussy. Serena panted, squirming underneath them, Kaydin’s hand obviously having found a sensitive spot on her body. Suddenly, urgently needing to be inside his husband’s ass, Jerrod poured lube onto his own cock, spreading Serena’s cream that still coated his erection. Almost unable to control himself, Jerrod lined his cock with Kaydin’s anus and pushed forward, grinding his teeth as he tried not to slam into the man the way he wanted. Kaydin’s muscles spasmed around him, pulling him deeper, holding him tighter. Jerrod caressed his back, soothing his man at the same time he tried to slow down. He eased out, sliding back in carefully, fully aware of the woman writhing on Kaydin’s cock. His patience snapped completely as Serena’s orgasm began. She shook violently, a keening cry escaping her lips as Kaydin started to pound into her pussy, his backward movement impaling him on Jerrod’s cock even more frantically than before. Jerrod leaned over, the angle awkward, the movement strange, the fucking sloppy, yet nothing had felt more perfect in his life. Kaydin grunted, his ass pulsing, squeezing, caressing Jerrod’s cock as they both came at the same time. Cum spewed from his cock, painting the inside of his husband’s ass, as his husband filled their wife with his life-creating seed. As the three of them tried to catch their breath, Jerrod somehow found the strength to move them all onto the oversized sofa. He cradled his partners in his embrace as peace settled in his heart, and hope for the future filled his mind.

**** “Does it hurt?” Serena asked Kaydin as she finally got around to making the vegetable lasagna she’d promised Jerrod three days ago. “When Jerrod fucks my ass?” She blushed at the words, still a little off-balance when it came to talking about the things they shared in bed. Well, not just in bed. The three of them had managed to make love in just about every inch of space in the apartment. Serena was still feeling hot all over from the way Jerrod had stepped into the bathing area, grabbed her by the hair, and bent her over the sink this morning. The fact that she’d let him dominate her, and had thoroughly enjoyed every moment, was still something she was trying to reconcile in her head. It seemed so out of character for her to let a man take her so forcefully, but her compliance probably had something to do with the three screaming orgasms he’d wrung from her before he’d fucked her like a wild man. “Yes, does it hurt when he…um…makes love to you?” she said shyly in answer to Kaydin’s bold question. “Not at all,” he said with a wink. “You should try it sometime. I’m told it feels very different to vaginal penetration, but I believe you would enjoy it.” “Maybe I would,” Serena said, unable to keep the arousal from her voice. She’d watched Jerrod make love to Kaydin several times in the past three days, and it was something truly beautiful to watch. Kaydin gave her a knowing grin. “How long before dinner’s ready?” “Everything’s done,” she said as she slid the tray into the machine that Desconians used to cook their food. It was a very energy-efficient way to cook, but it wasn’t any faster than the old-fashioned ovens on Earth. It did, however, make it easier to time things just right. She glanced at the chronometer on the wall, very glad to notice she and Kaydin had time for that bath they’d been planning.
56

“Perfect,” Kaydin said as he swept her into his arms. “Now we can get to the fun stuff.” She giggled, and then giggled harder at the sound. She’d never felt the sort of happiness she experienced with these two men. It was quite eye-opening to realize that she’d spent more time laughing and smiling in her three months on Descon than she had in the past several years on Earth. Half walking, half stumbling, they somehow made it into the bathing area without falling over. Kaydin kissed her soundly, his hands roaming all over her naked body, his fingers dipping into her wet pussy as she struggled to stay upright. It still felt strange to be naked a lot of the time, but it also seemed very freeing, very honest, almost as if it were impossible to hide emotionally while not wearing clothes. Without breaking that incredible kiss, Kaydin managed to turn on the taps to the shower, set the correct temperature, and still caress her all over. If she didn’t know better, she’d swear he had more than two hands. “I thought we were having a bath.” “What I have in mind is far more fun in the shower.” She laughed again, thoroughly enjoying the relaxation that this man encouraged so effortlessly. “Should I ask what you have in mind?” He simply grinned and ran his hands all over her once more. She squeaked a surprised noise when one of his fingers dipped into the crease of her ass, and almost lifted off the ground when he pressed just the tip of his finger into her anus. “Breathe, beautiful,” he said with a smile in his voice. She breathed out, laughing a little at her reflexive action. The most incredible part was that his gentle touch felt quite nice. All sorts of nerve endings were flaring to life, sensations she’d never before experienced rushing through her as he wiggled the digit a little deeper.

He urged her into the shower, the water falling from the roof like soft rain rather than the more directed showerheads on Earth. Descon was lucky to have abundant supplies of water, but they’d also built incredibly advanced recycling plants that ensured the water was not only not wasted but also cleaner than the stuff considered drinkable on Earth. It meant that taking a long, hot shower was guilt-free and a large part of Desconian sexual play. This shower room was easily large enough to accommodate six people or more and contained all sorts of seats, benches, and ledges that came in very handy. The shower could also be programmed to cycle on and off and vary the fall from tropical downpour to light mist and everything in between. Serena had indulged in more than one fantasy in this room, but she’d always been too worried that she’d be overheard to truly do anything about it. If she hadn’t been under the influence of the lotion that first night she probably wouldn’t have had the confidence to masturbate even then. But now, with her life intertwined with Jerrod and Kaydin and their mubella claiming plans well under way—thanks to the enthusiasm of her bridesmaid—Serena no longer needed to imagine the types of things that could go on inside this room. “Lean over this ledge, Serena. I want to make sure you’re properly prepared before I try to ram my cock into your ass.” The last was said with a mischievous grin, but she couldn’t help shiver at the implications. Was she really about to have anal sex with one of the most amazing men she’d ever met? Apparently so, judging by the sound of lube being squeezed from a dispenser in the wall. Kaydin caressed her spine as the warm water fell gently over them both for a few more moments. As the shower cycled off, Kaydin pressed the lube into her ass, his thick finger pushing deep as she squirmed facedown against the bench. The invasion felt strange, but incredible, heat radiating outward as her clit began to throb. She gasped as he added a second finger, the stretch just a little bit uncomfortable.
58
Rachel Clark
“Is that hurting?” he asked, the concern in his voice very obvious. “Not really,” she said as his fingers stopped moving, “just uncomfortable.” “We can’t have that,” he said as he slid his fingers from her ass. She tried to stand up, worried that she’d let him down with her wimpy behavior. But his strong hand pressed against her lower back, holding her in place as he reached over to one of the recessed shelves and grabbed what looked like a series of baubles one on top of the other, each bauble bigger than the last. “This is an anal probe. It’ll help loosen the muscles in your ass.” “Seriously?” Serena giggled. “I’m about to get an alien anal probe?” “Technically,” he said, laughing with her, “on this planet you’re the alien.” “True,” she said, still smiling at the silliness. She’d never enjoyed this sort of lighthearted fun with anyone else she’d ever known. Somehow Kaydin and Jerrod inspired joy even when the three of them were getting hot and heavy. Serena gasped as the lubed-up ball pressed against her anus, the small end of the toy slipping into her back passage without any pain. Kaydin kept moving the flexible toy, the second ball caressing her tight outer ring of muscle before easing gently into her ass. She couldn’t see but from memory the third ball was bigger than two fingers combined. She held her breath, tensing up, waiting for the pain to begin, but Kaydin caressed her with one hand, continuing to caress the toy against her anus until it somehow slid into her body easily. “How?” she asked, bewildered as amazing electrical pulsing type sensations started to zip from her ass to her clit and back again. “It’s the shape. Two fingers side by side aren’t really round. If you’re not used to anal sex they can be quite uncomfortable.” “But,” she said, having to swallow twice as arousal threatened to steal her sanity, “they’re not as big as your cock.”

“Trust me, beautiful. We’ll fit together perfectly.” He pushed the next-sized bauble into her ass, and she practically melted at the incredible sensations zipping through her. She almost growled when he pulled it back out. But then he pushed it back in and she forgave him instantly. Her ass began to pulse pleasantly, the unfamiliar sensation quite erotic as her lover pressed yet another larger bauble into her ass. This one he thrust into her ass again and again, fucking her with the probe until she was rocking against the bench, trying to press her clit against something, desperately seeking the orgasm that felt just out of reach. Over and over he slid the probe into her ass, varying the size, the depth, the time inside her until she thought she’d go mad with need. The largest bauble made her feel like she was being split in two, but the feeling was so delicious that she could only ask for more. She groaned when he pulled the toy completely from her ass, but gasped in pleasure as she felt the warm head of his cock slide slowly into her ass. He worked his way in, holding her close as he leaned over her and pushed to the hilt. The shower cycled back on, the gentle rain covering them both as her body adjusted to his size. As the drops grew heavier, her wrapped an arm underneath their joined bodies and found her clit with his fingers. He pressed openmouthed kisses to her back as the rain fell harder and her arousal climbed higher. Much, much higher. She gasped, surprised by her orgasm, groaning as her ass tightened around the cock in her ass and dragged at it greedily. Her knees buckled, but Kaydin held her steady, supporting her with his arms while still impaling her with his cock. “Come again,” he whispered as the fall of the water increased to a pounding, tropical storm. Water sluiced off him, flowing over her, dribbling between them, the slight sting on already-oversensitized skin tipping her into orgasm once more. She closed her eyes, letting the sensations take her. Gasping, writhing, shaking with release,

crying out his name as he held still, pressed to the hilt, anchoring her in a world gone insane. And then as the shower cycled off once more, he pulled his cock partially from her ass, dripped lube onto his hard flesh, and then rammed it back into her body. She lifted onto her toes, the sensation almost too much, the delight almost taking her once more. He pulled away, dragging his cock from her ass, as he lifted her to a different type of bench. Her back pressed against a wall, her body tilted backward forty-five degrees, he quickly hooked her knees over the shaped extrusions and slid his cock into her ass once more. Serena wrapped her arms around him, dragging him closer, kissing him frantically as he built the pace, thrusting more forcefully, taking her more thoroughly. “Come for me again,” Kaydin demanded. She shook her head. She’d just had two amazing orgasms. Surely she didn’t have the energy for one more. But Kaydin proved her wrong. Just a touch on her clit had the arousal climbing ever higher, her body winding tighter, her breath jamming in her chest, her heart beating a wild tattoo, her pussy pulsing, her ass clamping down. Kaydin groaned, this time coming with her, his entire focus on where they were joined so intimately. He jolted, his movement becoming awkward, his cry of ecstasy music to her ears, his gentle kiss perfect in the aftermath of such incredible and amazing emotional and spiritual release. “I love you,” Kaydin said as he tried to move. Obviously he was as exhausted as she felt. “I love you, too,” she whispered. “And I love you both,” Jerrod said from the doorway, startling them, “but that is no way to get our mubella pregnant.”

Chapter Six Jerrod couldn’t believe how happy he felt. Everything was perfect. He’d come home to find the man he loved introducing the woman he loved to anal sex. Just the thought of him and Kaydin fucking Serena together had his cock rising almost painfully, painting a smear of precum onto his stomach. But the woman was exhausted. If Kaydin had been anywhere near as thorough as Jerrod had been Kaydin’s first time—and Jerrod had no reason to doubt that his lover wasn’t—then the woman was going to need some serious refueling before they could get back to making babies. He stepped into the shower room, pleased that he no longer had to worry about clothes while they were in their own home. The shower cycled on once more, the gently falling rain creating a sensuous atmosphere as he helped his lovers to clean up. Serena tried to kiss him, wrapping her arms around him to pull him close. He slapped her bottom and told her to behave. She gave him a pouting look, but it seemed obvious that she felt the need to even out their love play. As far as he knew, this was the first time Kaydin and Serena had been together without him, but he didn’t want his mubella to feel like she should be keeping score. Sex between the members of a Desconian triad should be relaxed, uninhibited, and truly natural. There was no need for any of them to worry about petty jealousies. Unless… “Serena, are you worried that I’m upset?” She shook her head, but then confessed. “Maybe a little. My ex cheated on me with my best friend. I know this isn’t the same, but
62
Rachel Clark
well, a part of me worries that I’ll do something wrong and upset you both.” Jerrod pulled her closer, smiling when Kaydin pressed against her back and trapped her between them. “We both love you, and we both love each other,” he said, making certain she was looking directly into his eyes. “I love that you and Kaydin can spend time together like you’ve just done. I’m not jealous or worried or going to be upset by anything you two do together in my absence.” She glanced over her shoulder at Kaydin, who added his support to Jerrod’s words. “And I’m not going to get jealous over you and Jerrod spending time together without me. Will it bother you if we’re together when you’re not around?” It was more of a theoretical question since neither man intended to leave their woman by herself. Serena had adapted to their culture quite well, but even on a planet as peaceful as Descon there were elements of danger—especially for the spouse of the man in charge of the royal guard. “No, it wouldn’t bother me,” she said, relaxing in their embrace. “In fact, now that I know how amazing anal sex feels, I might insist on watching you two together every chance I get.” “Now that’s what we needed to hear,” Kaydin said, unconsciously echoing the thought in Jerrod’s head. They’d been willing to share a modified version of a traditional Desconian triad relationship—at least for a while—but with Serena’s loving acceptance of their culture it wouldn’t be necessary. “Well in that case,” Jerrod said and then leaned over to kiss Kaydin thoroughly while keeping Serena pressed between them. He ran his hands over both of them, loving the contrast of hard man and soft woman in his arms. He kissed Serena just as meticulously as he wrapped his hand around Kaydin’s thick cock. By the time he lifted his head, both of his lovers were breathing heavily. “Well in that case,” he said again, this time with a wink, “what’s for dinner?”

Kaydin and Serena both looked stunned for a moment, before bursting into laughter. **** Kaydin loved the closeness he felt with these two people. Even just sitting down to eat dinner—an ordinary and normally mundane occurrence—had suddenly become so much more. He’d lived with and loved Jerrod for years. Serena’s inclusion just made things more perfect, more right, highlighting and enhancing what they felt for each other. It was a truly humbling experience. He watched Jerrod as he ate, his own appetite forgotten as he watched the man he loved. It was very clear that he felt the same way. He loved Serena with all his heart, but it hadn’t lessened the feelings he had for Kaydin. Somehow they’d been lucky enough to find the woman who completed them. “Eat up,” Jerrod said in his bossiest voice. A little surprised by his tone, Kaydin glanced at Serena to find her smiling. “You should probably do what he says,” she said happily. “I suspect our tredella has big plans.” “That I do, mubella, and you are both going to need your energy.” He turned his attention back to Kaydin. “So eat up.” “Yes, sir,” he said with a half laugh. Jerrod grinned widely. “I think I like it when you call me sir.” “You would,” Kaydin said easily, “but don’t expect me to salute.” Jerrod laughed, leaned over, and pulled him closer. The kiss was deep and rough and possessive and so heartbreakingly perfect that Kaydin barely knew where he was. But then Serena was there, touching them both, pressing kisses to every inch she could reach with her lips, her hands caressing everywhere else. Jerrod swept the dishes aside, lifted her onto the table, pressing his face against her stomach. He breathed deeply, one arm holding Serena close, the other holding Kaydin tightly.

“Are you sore?” he asked her, his hand pressing against her ass. “No, Kaydin was very careful,” she answered, smiling at him. “We want to love you together. One in your ass. One in your pussy.” He lifted his face to look into her eyes. “We’ll be gentle, and we’ll stop if it hurts.” “I trust you,” she said, running her hand through Jerrod’s hair as he pressed his face to her belly once more. “I trust you with my life, my body, and my heart.” Kaydin saw the relief on his lover’s face, a moment before Jerrod smiled and lifted up to take Serena’s mouth in a devastating kiss. By the time they came up for air, Kaydin’s cock was so hard he was ready to blow. Jerrod noticed his predicament, pressed the same sort of kiss to Kaydin’s lips, and then encouraged him to sit up on the table beside Serena. “Ride him, little one,” Jerrod said wickedly. He helped Serena onto her knees so that she could straddle Kaydin’s hips and then wrapped his fist around Kaydin’s cock, the touch so familiar, so right, that Kaydin could barely breathe. Slowly Serena lowered onto him, taking his aching cock into her body one inch at a time. Jerrod held her down, not letting her move, as he did something to make her squirm. “Don’t move,” he said as he lifted Kaydin’s hand to her buttock. “Either of you.” “Be quick,” Serena said breathlessly. He was quick, returning to the table with a large container. That was an awful lot of lube, and Kaydin’s ass clenched just at the thought of what Jerrod had in mind. The guy had always had amazing stamina—and that was saying something considering most Desconians were very sexual—and whatever he had in mind, Kaydin was fairly certain he and Serena were going to feel the effects for days. “Kiss her,” Jerrod said with a wink.

**** Serena squirmed in between the two men as Jerrod prepared her ass for his cock. She knew what to expect this time, so she forced herself to relax and pushed out against his fingers. His sound of approval made her feel all tingly inside. But it was when he started to stroke Kaydin’s cock through the thin wall between her pussy and back passage that her breath caught in her throat. Kaydin looked like his eyes were going to roll into the back of his head. He groaned. “Oh, goddess, that’s amazing.” “Just imagine how good it’s going to feel when I’m inside her, Kaydin.” Kaydin made a noise that sounded suspiciously like a whimper and tried to buck his hips up from the table. But Jerrod held them both down, one large hand splayed over her lower back as the other slid lube into her ass. “Patience,” he said as the fingers in her ass started to move more forcefully, stretching her tight muscles, just like Kaydin had done in the shower earlier. And then he was there, the head of his cock pressing against her ass, the first part stretching her even more as he worked his way deep into her back passage. She whimpered, the feeling of being stuffed full nearly overridden by the joy of being connected to both of her men at the same time. The three of them stayed still, just holding each other, simply enjoying the closeness for a few moments. But then Kaydin’s cock pulsed in her pussy, the delicious feeling setting off eddies of warmth in her belly. She wiggled, trying to get closer, trying to take them deeper into her body, into her heart, into her soul. “I love you,” she whispered. Both men groaned, and then as if her words broke their control, they started moving. One pushing in as the other pulled out. They rocked her back and forth between them, her

ass and pussy twitching, her clit throbbing, her heart pounding, her breath catching, her eyes fluttering closed as heat burst in her midsection. Over and over sensation bounced through her, her orgasm more intense, more captivating, more amazing than she’d ever experienced. Her ass and pussy grabbed at their cocks, the dragging, sliding, caressing movements sending them both into a frenzy. They moved harder, faster, thrusting into her more frantically, panting, gasping, shuddering with pleasure as her orgasm dragged the cum from them both. Kaydin released a keening cry, and Jerrod groaned as they poured their seed into her body. “Fuck,” Jerrod muttered as he finally stilled, “I never expected…” “Me neither,” Kaydin said breathlessly. “We’ve watched it so many times, but until this moment…” He seemed to be searching for words. He settled for “Goddess.” “Is that a good thing?” Serena asked nervously. “A good thing?” Jerrod said, leaning over to press a loving kiss to the back of her neck. “That was the most incredible experience of my life.” “You’ve never done this before?” “Never,” Kaydin said with a soft laugh. “You are the only woman we’ve ever shared.” And perhaps as silly as it was to be so possessive, Serena found herself smiling. That they’d shared such an intimate experience was amazing, but to know they’d never shared it with another? Simply perfect.

Chapter Seven Serena squirmed on the massage table. Three weeks ago they’d decided to complete the mubella claiming in a traditional way and coat her with the lotion today even though it was technically not necessary. But as her men had pointed out, the lotion not only gave them an excuse to touch her all over once more, but also would help her to relax and forget that they were about to consummate their marriage in front of a room full of people. She’d mostly gotten over the embarrassment of being naked in front of visitors, but hadn’t quite felt ready to indulge the voyeuristic tendencies that were an integral part of Desconian sexuality. Hopefully, with the euphoria of being officially married to these two wonderful men, combined with the lotion’s effect, she would be able to relax and enjoy the sex her men had planned. She heard the door slide open, and was relieved to hear the voices of her men as they entered the room. “Hello, mubella,” Jerrod said as he ran a warm hand down the length of her spine. The reverent tone and loving touch was enough to bring tears to her eyes. It felt truly perfect to be entwining her life with these men. “How’re you doing, beautiful? Nervous?” Kaydin asked as he leaned over and pressed a kiss to her bottom. A few days ago she’d laughingly told him to kiss her ass, and he’d taken every opportunity to do just that since. “Nervous? Nah,” she lied, even knowing they could see her apprehension clearly. Perhaps she should have considered practicing in front of friends before having their mubella claiming ceremony.

“Oh, I can see that,” Kaydin said with a laugh in his voice. “Any more relaxed and you’d vibrate off the table.” She lifted her head from the hole in the massage bench, twisted enough to see her men, and then stuck her tongue out at Kaydin. He laughed even harder, having learned only a few days ago that for humans it was considered a mild insult and not the sexual come-on that he’d assumed. Although, what had happened afterward had certainly been fun. As she started to relax just a little, she finally noticed the tense way Jerrod was holding himself. She glanced at Kaydin, hoping for an explanation, but he just gave her a small smile. “Jerrod is…um…everything all right?” she asked, not sure what she wanted to hear but knowing she couldn’t not ask if he was okay. “Yes, mubella,” he said, touching her face gently as she rolled over to face him. “I’m glad we had the chance to get to know each before the ceremony. Today means so much more knowing that you love me and Kaydin.” She nodded in agreement, those pesky tears blurring her vision once more. Jerrod smoothed his thumb under her eye, the smile on his face saying more than words could ever express. He touched his lips to hers for a brief moment, and then urged her to lie facedown on the bench once more. Their hands were warm, the lotion cool against her rapidly heating skin. She moaned softly as blunt fingers pressed in between her ass cheeks, thoroughly coating her anus. Jerrod and Kaydin rolled her over, grinning down at her as they continued their ministrations. Her ass was already tingling from the lotion’s effect, but it was when Kaydin caressed both breasts, thoroughly caressing the lotion into her nipples at the same time that Jerrod coated her clit, that she started to moan. Both men simply grinned. “It’s…” She had to swallow before she could get the rest of the words out. “…w–working fffffaster this time.”

“Did we forget to mention that?” Kaydin asked in a voice that made it clear the omission had been deliberate. “Without the need to counteract the hair removal process, the lotion simply starts working straightaway.” She nodded. It was working all right. Hell, it was working really, really well. “Please,” she whimpered pathetically, knowing that she wouldn’t get through the part where the women would come into the room and paint Jerrod’s and Kaydin’s family symbols all over her body. Shit, she could almost climax just thinking about orgasm. “It’s not exactly traditional,” Kaydin said with mischief in his eyes. “Traditional?” she asked in a horrified voice. To hell with tradition. She needed her men. Right now! “Perhaps just something to take the edge off.” She nodded frantically, almost crying out in sheer relief when Kaydin bent to kiss her and Jerrod pushed something into her pussy. She knew it wasn’t his cock—so it was a poor substitute—but when he started thrusting it into her pussy she felt her body quickly respond. Kissing Kaydin frantically, squirming against the padded bench, shaking all over, Serena nearly swore when Jerrod pulled the toy from her body. But she changed her mind when he pressed it against her anus and pushed. The toy slid in easily, her entire body shivering from the explosive orgasm building inside her. “Come for us,” Jerrod growled as he grabbed her slippery clit, rubbing the swollen nub mercilessly. Her back arched as climax overwhelmed her sanity, her ass pulsing around the toy’s invasion, her pussy clenching frantically, her cream coating her thighs as bright swirling lights burst behind her eyelids and liquid heat ran through every vein. “Beautiful,” Kaydin said as he broke the kiss and caressed her soothingly.

“We’ll see you at the ceremony,” Jerrod said a moment before pressing his kiss to her forehead. Kaydin did the same, and then they were gone. Several women came into the room almost immediately. They set up the cobalt-blue paint and helped her to roll onto her stomach once more. Her clit felt swollen and sensitive so she lifted her ass up a little bit before remembering the toy that Jerrod had left in. Embarrassment overrode the lingering effects of her incredible orgasm until she heard the women’s approving comments. “Oh, Serena,” one of the women said in an envious voice, “you are going to have an amazing mubella claiming ceremony. With all the mail-order brides from Earth, very few of the tredellas and tredellabinas get to celebrate their special day with double penetration.” **** Kaydin held on to his man. It was obvious that Jerrod was on edge. Although, after witnessing that incredible orgasm, Kaydin was feeling pretty jumpy himself. As much as he’d looked forward to this day, he wanted it over with. Claiming their mubella in front of witnesses truly appealed to him, but it was the promise of a lifetime together that claimed his heart. He and Jerrod had wondered for so long what it would be like to have a mubella in their lives, but it was Serena who made the whole thing so special. She wasn’t a mail-order bride. She was a beautiful, deeply affectionate woman who loved them both. Getting to know her before marrying her was probably the biggest bonus of the entire mixup. “The artists will be here shortly,” he said to Jerrod as he guided him into one of the chairs provided, “but maybe I could do for you what you did for me last time.” Jerrod grinned, his memory obviously not faulty.

Kaydin pulled Jerrod’s formal clothing aside, dropped to his knees in front of his husband, and quickly took Jerrod’s hard cock into his mouth. He hummed a sound of pleasure, knowing the vibration would send his man’s need soaring higher. Jerrod tangled his fingers in Kaydin’s hair, massaging his scalp as he tried, and failed, not to take over. His hips bucked off the chair, forcing his cock deeper into Kaydin’s throat. Kaydin swallowed, groaning again, almost smiling when Jerrod’s grip tightened and he started fucking Kaydin’s mouth frantically. “Oh, fuck,” Jerrod said on a long groan as Kaydin swallowed around him and massaged the underside of his cock. Jerrod fucked his face faster, pushing to the back of his throat each time. Then he growled, held still, his cock pulsing, the salty streams of cum landing on Kaydin’s tongue, filling his mouth with his lover’s delicious taste. He laved Jerrod’s cock affectionately, caressing the slowly softening flesh until Jerrod’s grip in his hair became less frantic. “I love you,” Jerrod whispered as he smoothed his hands over Kaydin’s messed-up hair. Kaydin smiled as he let go of Jerrod’s cock and sat back on his knees. “I love you, too.” The door opened, and two women stepped inside, smiling when they saw what Jerrod and Kaydin had been up to. “Ready?” one of them asked with a bright smile. “We have a few minutes to spare if you two want to finish up.” Jerrod gave Kaydin an inquiring look, but he shook his head and turned to the women who would paint the design they’d agreed to use as a symbol of their mubella’s family onto their skin. “I think we’re good to go.” **** Serena still tingled all over from the lotion, but at least it was controllable for the moment. It helped that she was distracted by the
72

beautiful patterns the women had drawn all over her body. Her left half wore the intricate swirls and star patterns of Kaydin’s family and her right was covered in the sharp angles and bold strokes of Jerrod’s. The men—and their families—were so very different, but somehow that just made their love deeper, their affection for each other completely beautiful. And yet incredibly, they’d somehow found a space for her. For the first time in her life she felt truly loved, truly accepted, and very appreciated. It was almost enough to make her want to thank the manufacturers of the faulty translator that had landed her on this planet in the first place. The women finished painting the designs on her and helped her into a sheer fabric that was mostly see-through. She might have been embarrassed by such an outfit when she’d first arrived here, but after three months being immersed in the culture it felt perfectly natural to wear it. “You look truly stunning,” the older woman said as she fixed a few strands of hair that had come loose from her braid. “Kaydin and Jerrod are lucky men.” “I think maybe I’m the lucky one.” “That, too,” the woman said with a wink. “Cindy said she would collect you when it’s time for the ceremony.” She glanced at the chronometer on the wall. “It shouldn’t be too long. I hope the ceremony goes well.” “Me, too,” Serena said with a smile as the women left the room. Alone for the first time all day, Serena closed her eyes and imagined all the things her men had planned for their mubella claiming ceremony. Considering the plug they’d left in her ass, she had a pretty good idea what they had in mind. Serena was so deep in thought—or was that fantasy—that she physically jolted when the door slid open. “Thank god I’ve found you,” Craig said as he hurried into the room.

“What are you doing here?” “Rescuing you.” And then as if he suddenly noticed her nearnaked state he grabbed a nearby sheet and threw it over her. Considering that she didn’t want to be nearly naked around this particular man she happily used it to cover up. “Fuck, what did these monsters do to you?” He grabbed her hand, trying to drag her out of the chair. “Come on. We don’t have much time. They’ll be back any moment.” Still too stunned to comprehend her ex’s sudden appearance, Serena at least had the presence of mind to pull her arm out of his grip. “Don’t fight me on this,” Craig said, looking annoyed. “We have to get you to safety before someone comes back.” “Safety?” she asked as a million questions bounced through her overwrought brain. “I am safe here.” “Oh, babe,” Craig said in what he probably thought of as sympathy, “you’ve been brainwashed. You’re nothing but a sex slave on this planet.” “Am not,” Serena said in surprise. She fought him, struggling against his hold, as Craig tried to lift her into his arms. “Leave me alone.” “It’s okay, babe,” he said as she felt something cold press against her neck, “you’ll thank me for this later.” She tried to wriggle, tried to talk, but whatever he’d used stole her ability to concentrate, and then she felt blackness engulf her.

Chapter Eight “What do you mean? She’s missing?” Jerrod could feel his panic rising. If Serena was missing it was because someone had taken her. She hadn’t left of her own free will. Of that he was certain. “Cindy Richards has ordered a complete lockdown of this building and the surrounding buildings, local transport, and the spaceport. If Serena is still on the planet, we’ll find her.” Jerrod nodded, grinding his teeth as he tried to force the anger and panic into something useful. “Do we have surveillance footage for the corridor?” “I’ve got Katarnia working on that right now. She’ll contact us as soon as she—” Ewin’s communicator beeped, cutting him off. Katarnia’s voice was clear and to the point. “She was carried from the room by an unknown human male. She seems to be unconscious.” “Send a copy of his picture to every law enforcement agent in the immediate area. Contact every palace guard, on duty or off, and tell them this is a priority.” “Already done, sir,” Katarnia said in a professional voice. And then in a tone of voice that identified her as a close friend she added, “We will find her, Jerrod.” “I know,” he said, trying to keep the professional calm that had seen him promoted to head of the royal guard years earlier. Kaydin looked pale, his fear for Serena very clear in his eyes. Jerrod grabbed his lover’s hand and headed for the door. “A human is likely to try
The Nanny’s Unplanned Marriage
75
and get her off the planet at the first opportunity. We’ll start at the spaceport.” **** Serena drifted in and out of consciousness. It kind of felt like a lazy Sunday, but something in her head urged her to wake up early, almost as if there were something important she needed to do. It took a few moments to realize the rocking feeling was from being carried and not some sort of overly realistic dream. She let her eyes flutter open, her brain barely registering the sights as they moved quickly through a crowded area. She opened her mouth to ask where they were going, but something stilled her tongue at the last moment. The arms around her didn’t feel familiar. They didn’t belong to Jerrod or Kaydin, of that she was certain. So why then was someone carrying her? Was she sick? The man bumped into someone, and the tiny jolt made her suddenly aware of the plug in her ass. Memories rolled through her mind like an avalanche—Jerrod, Kaydin, the preparations for the mubella claiming ceremony, the lotion, the butt plug, and the orgasm that had left her feeling boneless. The memories also brought with them the identity of the man who carried her. She tried to kick her legs furiously, the movement sluggish and uncoordinated. Nevertheless, Craig struggled to hold on to her. “Let me go!” she demanded in a weak whisper. “Help.” She managed to grab onto someone in the crowd. “Help,” she pleaded again in a voice barely above a whisper. “Help me, please.” “She’s ill,” she heard Craig say as he tried to push his way past, but his path was blocked by a solid wall of Desconian citizens. “The lady asked for help,” a woman’s voice said loudly. “She asked for help, and until we know who you are and where you’re taking her, you don’t get to take another step.”

“This is ridiculous,” Craig said in obvious irritation. “My wife is sick. I need to get her home to her own doctors.” “Not sick,” Serena managed to say tiredly. “Kidnapped.” Craig turned in a circle, apparently surrounded by people willing to protect a complete stranger simply because she asked. Serena almost cried in relief when she saw two men wearing the uniform of the palace guard step into the circle. She didn’t think it was Jerrod, but all of his staff knew who she was. She closed her eyes, giving in to the exhaustion stealing through her, safe in the knowledge that Craig wouldn’t be taking her anywhere. **** “Hicks and Tyler found her.” Kaydin barely dared breathe a sigh of relief. “Where?” Jerrod barked into his communicator, and then grabbed Kaydin’s hand and started running. He explained on the way. “A crowd of Desconians stopped them just outside the shopping plaza, not far from the spaceport. Serena is unconscious again, but she managed to wake up long enough to call for help.” Kaydin nodded, unable to say anything with his heart in his throat. The fear had been short-lived—barely a few minutes at the most—but the effects were far deeper. Never in his entire life had he experienced anything like the terror of the past few moments. “She’s okay,” Jerrod said as he relayed the conversation he could hear through his communicator. “The doctor says she’d been drugged. He’s given her something to reverse the effects but she’s still…” His words trailed away as they rounded the corner and came across the crowd surrounding Serena. Jerrod easily weaved them through the gathered people and within moments was lifting their still-sleeping mubella into his arms. “No,” she whispered as he started to walk them back toward home.

77
“It’s okay, mubella. You’re safe now.” “Jerrod,” she said in a relieved voice. She snuggled deeper into his embrace for a moment before her eyes popped open and her gaze landed on Kaydin. “Kaydin.” She smiled sleepily and closed her eyes once more. “I love you two so much.” “We love you, mubella. Claiming ceremony or not, you’re our wife, and we will always love you,” Kaydin said, trying to hide how close he was to collapsing with relief. But Jerrod saw right through him. He lifted Serena higher, using his bulging muscles to hold her with one arm as he reached for Kaydin with the other. “I agree,” he said softly. “Now let’s get our mubella home.”

Epilogue “Apparently, Craig Hoolahan wasn’t quite as sincere in his ‘rescue’ attempt as he tried to convince us,” Jerrod said as he came in the front door, stripped off his clothes, and then headed to the sofa where Serena lay curled in Kaydin’s embrace. She raised an eyebrow and waited for Jerrod’s explanation. Over the past few days she’d tried to convince herself that maybe Craig had truly believed he was doing the right thing. It would have been the first time in his life, and she’d tried—unsuccessfully it seemed—to convince herself that he was capable of being a decent person once in a while. But Craig had always been a selfish man, and it had only taken an introduction to Jerrod and Kaydin to show her exactly how much. “Apparently, your Aunt…Irene?” Jerrod said with a question in his voice. She nodded at his correct pronunciation. “Your Aunt Irene apparently won something called ‘the lotto’ a few weeks ago and is now a very wealthy woman.” “That’s nice for her,” Serena said, almost giggling at the relief to be far away from what was sure to be a three-ring circus. Her father’s sister was a difficult woman to deal with even on a good day. Elderly, single, and childless, she was almost guaranteed to use the money to manipulate the people around her. If Serena had still been with Craig he would have found some way for them to be at the front of that line waiting for the woman to write her will and name her beneficiaries. But the idea of pretending to like somebody just to get their money seemed quite horrible to Serena. Personally, she hoped her aunt took the money and went on a very long holiday instead of trying to play
The Nanny’s Unplanned Marriage
79
greedy people off against each other. But in the end it was the woman’s choice. Everyone had to find their own path to happiness. Thankfully, in this situation, Craig had no influence over the way Serena would deal with her aunt. Neither of her men were interested in status symbols or the trappings of wealth. The only symbols they held dear were the ones painted on her body. “So you’re not anxious to run home and congratulate your aunt on her good fortune?” “Not really, no.” She didn’t want to sound like a bitch, but it was absolutely the last thing she wanted to do. She wanted to be right here, pressed between her men. “Excellent,” Jerrod said, leaning over to kiss her before he turned back to the front door. He opened it, nodded at someone she couldn’t see, and then stood back as several friends stepped into their home. Serena tried to sit up to greet their guests, but Kaydin held her down and pressed soft kisses to her lips. “Cindy taught us an old expression from Earth—third time’s a charm,” he said with a wide grin. “But this time we’re not leaving anything to chance, so our witnesses are coming to us. Ewin has offered to read the ancient blessing of love, prosperity, and fertility for us, and he and his husband, Dayved, and Eric, Cindy, and Loukie will stay to witness our joining. No big buildup, no fanfare, and way less chance of something going wrong.” “Are you sure?” Serena asked worriedly. Kaydin especially had seemed eager to follow the traditional ceremony, and she didn’t want him to be disappointed. “I’m positive,” Kaydin answered with another kiss on her ear. “The most important part is being with you and Jerrod, officially joining our lives together, and getting started on the family the three of us want.” She grinned, lifted up to press a kiss to Kaydin’s mouth, and then maneuvered so that Kaydin sat on one side and there was room for Jerrod on the other. He immediately took the seat beside her and

pulled them both into his arms. The three of them kissed each other for quite a long time before coming up for air. “About that family thing,” Serena whispered, wanting her men to be the first to know. “Is it all right that we got going on that a little early?” “Early? What do you mean?” Jerrod asked, looking adorably confused. “She means,” Kaydin said, turning her around to face him. He searched her expression for a moment, perhaps finding what he hoped for. “That we’re pregnant?” “Yes.” “But how do you know? I mean how can you be sure? Don’t you need to see a doctor or…or someone?” Jerrod looked completely freaked out. It wasn’t exactly the reaction she’d been expecting. “Maybe we should delay the mubella claiming for another day.” “You don’t want to marry me?” Ice was filling her veins, even as everything inside her denied that was what Jerrod meant. “Hell, no,” Jerrod said, pulling her into his arms even more tightly. The whole room had turned to him, obviously sensing his strange mood. Jerrod dragged in a ragged breath, let it out slowly, and tried again. “Hell, I mean, yes. Yes, I want to marry you. It’s just…maybe we should wait until after the baby is born. I’m not sure that claiming you right now would be good for the baby.” “At this point in time the baby is about the size of my fingernail. Sex won’t hurt a healthy pregnancy.” She nodded toward Loukie and her partners who all grinned in agreement. “But if it will make you feel better, we can take things slowly. Please say you’ll marry me today.” “Of course,” Jerrod said as she slid into his embrace. “As far as Kaydin and I are concerned you’ve been our mubella from the moment we met. This just makes it official.” “Well then,” Kaydin said as he lifted her to her feet and guided them to stand in front of Ewin. “What on Descon are we waiting for?”
