They kissed me and it made me come, she thought, still feeling woozy. But that couldn’t be right, could it? Nobody came just from getting kissed on the cheek—even if she was being kissed by two huge Kindred warriors at the same time, right?
But her whole body still felt tingly and her pussy felt hot and wet. And when her eyelids fluttered open, she saw two male faces looking anxiously down at her. Hazel green eyes and midnight blue that was almost black—they could only belong to two people she knew—her students.
“Burn…Bright?” she asked, putting a hand to her head. “What…where am I? What happened?”
“You came when we kissed you,” Burn said bluntly.
“Didn’t you?” Bright asked.
“What?” Noelle’s cheeks immediately got hot with a blush. “How…how did you know that?” she demanded. Dios, what was going on here?
“Don’t worry—we came too,” Bright assured her, as though that was supposed to make her feel better.
“But you…we…you only kissed me!” Noelle gasped. She sat up and felt immediately dizzy. “Ohhh…”
“Be easy, little one,” Burn rumbled sitting down beside her on the couch where she had been lying.
“Yes, please don’t worry—it wasn’t your fault. It wasn’t anyone’s fault—it was the prophecy,” Bright said, sitting on the other side of her.
“The prophecy?” Noelle frowned. “What prophecy? What are you talking about?” she asked faintly. At the same time, she was taking care not to touch either of them—what if what had happened under the mistletoe happened again?
“It was given to us by a blind Seer on Therim Five…” Bright began. “And that’s why we need you to come with us to meet Mother Reeva,” he finished at last, several minutes later. “So will you come with us?” he asked anxiously.
“We can pay you,” Burn added, unexpectedly. “We don’t expect you to come for free.”
“Oh, um…” Noelle nibbled her lower lip. “You know I’m only here on the Mother Ship until December 24th, right? After that, my contract is up and I have to go back to Earth.”
“We can get you to Therim Five and back again in time to celebrate Christmas Eve here aboard the Mother Ship,” Bright promised. “We’ll fold space to get there and back again—the travel is instantaneous.”
“All right, but, um…what do I have to do once we get there?” Noelle’s mouth felt dry and her heart was pounding. “I mean, are the two of you expecting to…to share me or…” She trailed off, her face so hot she was sure her hair was about to catch on fire.
“Why, do you want us to share you?” Bright’s eyes were suddenly half-lidded as he looked down at her.
“You’re fucking scaring her,” Burn growled, frowning at his friend. “We couldn’t share you, Noelle,” he told her. “Twin Kindred can’t touch a female alone or with a male who isn’t their twin without experiencing a low-level shock.”
“Oh, I think I heard that somewhere.” Noelle wasn’t sure if she was disappointed…or relieved.
“Not that we wouldn’t want to share you if we could,” Burn went on, his own eyes going lazy with lust as well. “You’re a mature Elite—any male would want to share you with his twin.”
“But that’s not what we’re asking,” Bright said quickly. “We just need you to come to Therim Five to meet Mother Reeva with us. That’s all.”
“Well…” Noelle put a hand to one hot cheek. “I mean, you can’t blame me for asking after what happened under the mistletoe.”
“I know—I’m sorry about that,” Bright said, sounding honestly contrite. “We had to be sure you were the one we were looking for.”
“And we weren’t sure you’d be willing to let us kiss you knowing that might happen,” Burn growled.
“Are you angry?” Bright asked. “Forgive us, my lady—we felt drawn to you the minute we saw you and knew you must be the one who could help us.”
They both looked so earnest that Noelle didn’t see how she could get upset. And she couldn’t help feeling flattered that two hot, muscular younger warriors were so attracted to her.
“All right,” she said at last. “I’ll go with you, as long as we’re back in time for me to go back to Earth on time.”
Though to be honest, she wasn’t even sure what she would do when she got back home to her apartment. Probably try to hide as much as possible and hope that Branson wasn’t looking for her anymore.
As for Christmas, she had plans to spend it with her abuela—her grandmother on her father’s side—who was living alone now that her husband of 49 years had died. Noelle still missed her abuelo and she knew her grandmother did too. It would be good to share the holiday together, even if it was just the two of them this year.
“All right,” she said, smiling tentatively at the two big Kindred. “I’ll come with you as long as we don’t have to do…anything together.”
